It certainly should be.  You should simply be able to assign a track to 
a synth plugin instrument, edit the instrument however you like, then 
save the .rg file, and everything should be restored when you reload 
it.  Just as is the case for audio plugins.  (The .rgd device files are 
not relevant to synth plugin tracks.)

If this doesn't work for you, then we'd like to know about it, here or 
on the rosegarden-user list.

(Although a DSSI plugin editor GUI is a separate process from the host, 
every communication it sends to the plugin goes via the host.  So the 
host should always know everything necessary to restore the synth's 
previous state when it's reloaded.)
