FWIW, I added similar functionality to my fork of GeoNode last year by tweaking the map viewer configuration produced by the viewer_json method of the Maps class and adding a new setting called 'DEFAULT_MAP_WMS':
https://github.com/cspanring/geonode/commit/096da0b67430e67a1e022bcb30888149ecb0aca6 I scratched it later again because its performance wasn't ideal and I think similar functionality is on GeoNode's roadmap anyways, if I remember correctly.

Actually scratch that. Only sources from MAP_BASELAYERSOURCES that are used by one of the layers in MAP_BASELAYERS show up in the Available Layers dropdown. The only other way for adding a permanent layer source right now is to modify geonode/maps/models.py and add it in the uniquify method (see https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/src/GeoNodePy/geonode/maps/models.py#L1281).
