using act_as_having_settings on top of that?

e.g. (untested)

class MyPlugin < Noosfero::Plugin

  def settings
    @settings ||= Noosfero::Plugin::Settings.new(profile, self)
  end

  acts_as_having_settings
  settings_items :my_checkbox, :type => :boolean
end

maybe this could even be streamlined to avoid plugins having to
duplicate this pattern
