Gadget preferences have little to do with user gadgets.

User gadgets: No, converting a user script to a "User gadget" (with the model I
have in mind of Gadgets 3.0) will not add anything to Special:Preferences. It
will add it to a user-level repository. You can search trough repositories you
have "linked" (e.g. the site-wide repo and any users you have linked. Not a
list but a search interface)

Gadget preferences: No, these preferences would be on a per-gadget level. They
wouldn't pollute the main Special:Preferences panel (the UI isn't final yet,
but afaik Salvatore's proposal was a modal dialog triggered from an icon next
to the gadget name on Special:Preferences)
