At the moment, the easiest work-around is probably to make a Channel Strip Setting for each favourite plugin, and load them from the Library tab.
You can customize your Library file structure by dragging around your .cst (Channel Strip) files in the Finder, making sub-folders, etc.:
/Users/~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Channel Strip Settings/Instrument(or Bus, or whatever plugin type)

(Sorry for the delay) No, that's right -- Ch.St.Stgs save and load a set of plugins as a unit, and replace any that are already loaded.
My buddy Eli pointed out that you can drag-copy a plugin from one channel strip to another:
"...one of the great features of the Track Mixer: Hold down the Command key to move a plugin from one slot to another - or one channel strip to another. And add the Option key to that to copy it instead of move it."
So although this is getting convoluted, you could create a new track, load any Ch.St.Stgs you like, and then drag individual plugins to the track you're working on.
You could cram one Channel Strip Setting with your 6 or 8 favourite plugins, load it when you need any of them, and then drag the ones you want at that moment to your working track.
I know, not really what you wanted. :^( But maybe this strategy could be useful at some point.
cheers.

Hey Pete,
The only drag with this strategy is that loading in all those plugins unnecessarily takes up a lot of vertical space in the Track Mixer. So, if you do load in this temporary "plugin holder" to "harvest" the ones you want, make sure to delete that channel strip afterwards. Or else live with the additional vertical scaling that it will demand.
