Sure, and it's not that hard after you learn a little panel editing.
The (extremely) basic procedure is to modify panel.cfg to add a new window:
[Window Titles]
WindowXX=Autopilot ...
[WindowXX]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2
size_mm=156,308
window_size_ratio=1.0
position=8
visible=0
ident=
gauge00=gauge24=737-400!Autopilot, 336,11,303,45
You're going to have to futz around with some of the numbers as they are completely arbitrary, and your best bet is to get cfgEdit and let it do the work.

Hi,
You can also import an AP from the file b737wva.zip from Jim Waters (FSFreeware / FS2002 Panels / Pag. 11). At least it is very readable. This AP comes as a popup. Info in Readme.
