Since no one has responded, I'll share what I found even though it  
isn't an answer.

Core Printing Reference mentions a few PMPresetxxxxxx calls to get/ 
copy attributes from a dictionary. I suppose it would be possible to  
set the various components of the Preset using PMSetxxxxx calls but I  
don't see anything to drive the setting of the Preset drop down in the  
print dialog ( which I assume is what you are hoping ). It is possible  
that it must be populated by the component pieces. I'm wondering ( as  
I type ) if a user preset selection can be simulated via an  
Applescript? That was only a thought, so don't count on it. I used up  
my coding time today working on FBtoC/Editor activities, so no time to  
look further now. This is interesting, so please let the list know  
what solutions are found.
