Its easy to select all installed packages for the current repository you
just:
Show: Installed Packages
Edit->Select All
If you wanted to see all installed packages across all repositories on
the system then this would require more work on our part.
We could then give the user the ability to Save and Load selections
which could be across repositories
File-> Save Selections
File-> Load Selections
After loading a set of selections they can hit install if they wish,
modify the list and so on. Looking at the feedback on the link you sent
this would seem to be the best approach.
File an RFE and we can take a look.

The functionality in the following post about Synaptic sounds like an

They describe a GUI implementation, which the Package Manager GUI should
be able to imitate, but CLI interfaces would be nice too. Is this already
in the plans? (Or already in the product and I've just not noticed?)
The distribution constructor is the right tool for reinstalling or
cloning systems and I believe this particular case is planned to be
handled at some point in the future.
As far as pkg(1) itself (cli or gui); I know of no plans to support this
directly, although you could open an RFE.
