As far as I can tell this would require modifying the .ado file for
-collapse-. It is easy, however, to define your own -collapse- with
the median as default:

program define mycollapse
collapse (median) `0'
end
sysuse auto, clear
collapse price, by(foreign)
list
sysuse auto, clear
collapse (median) price [pw=mpg] if turn<46, by(foreign)
list
sysuse auto, clear
mycollapse price [pw=mpg] if turn<46, by(foreign)
list
