i don't know the benefits of such additional auto-searched folder.
i am working with different pd-versions on different platforms (and
architectures!) ((oops i did it again)), and your proposal adds more
trouble for me...(of course i wouldn't have to use it)

nevertheless you can already do with pd what you are suggesting: just
add ~/.pd-extra to your search-path in ~/.pdsettings (or ~/.pdrc);

each pd (regardless where it actually lives) will read pd-configuration
file in your hoem-directory and add your path.
