No, there is no such thing as preset in Pd. It is sorely missed be
several users. Coming closest is the state external from the
ggee-collection. It is part of the pd-externals package on
pure-data-sf.net

But in only saves standard number boxes, not the state of the GUI
objects like the sliders. 

The doc/7.stuff/synth directory contains an example for another approach: 
storing by hand into a textfile.
