When 24 fps source material is encoded in PAL (25 fps), it is often encoded frame by frame. This means that the movie is a little bit faster and often also a little bit higher in pitch.
Some DVD player software can slow down playback to the original 24 fps. I don't know of any stand-alone DVD player that can do this though.

My hope is that the coming HD-formats will do as you say. I think hardware is ready for it. It would save disk space also..
