Yes, this would be great functionality, I miss that capability from my Maxxum 7 (Whose AF/MF button is explicitly for this functionality). And having this would also allow for the lenses with FA-style AF clutches to switch the camera in and out of AF mode (Like is possible with some Nikons), making those diengagable focus rings a whole lot more useful. As it is, they just mean you have to do two things to switch the lens to MF (or AF).
