Well I missed this mail, but I have written a PreferencesKit framework 
to build such Preferences like panels (for specific system Preferences 
applications or usual applications)… This PreferencesKit supports both 
Cocoa PreferencePane (thanks to Uli) and Backbone Preference modules. 
You can found the framework in Étoilé cvs (more 
http://www.gna.org/etoile), but I need to update the cvs with more 
recent PreferencesKit version on my computer which should work better. 
:-)
My plan for Étoilé was to use GNOME system-tools-backends 
(http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/system-tools-backends) as the backend for 
Preferences applications, because it supports most of today OS and is 
used by both GNOME and KDE iirc.
Would be nice to be able to share code, or may be you want to 
contribute more directly : the plan is have this Preferences 
applications compatible with basic GNUstep install (not dependent for 
Étoilé except few specific panels).

Quentin.
