There is a bit of code in place already for a command-line
interface, which could be used to implement command-line JMX management
for Geronimo (indeed, there's already a sample command that starts the
server). If you'd like pursue the command-line angle, I can give you some
more detail.
I believe there was talk of extending the Tomcat 5 web UI for JMX
management for Geronimo, if you're interested in the web angle. There is
also some OpenEJB code that could be drawn on here. I know little about
either, but there are others on the list who could certainly tell you
more.
If you're thinking of a Swing sort of management console, I don't
think anything concrete has even been proposed.
In any case, are you familiar with JMX, JSR-77, and JSR-88
already?

P.S. No design specs as such, though there are occasional formulated ideas
in the mail archive and/or the Wiki. This is not to say a more organized
approach to design would be turned down.
