I just quickly fired up OEM for my 9i Release 2 database on Windows, in standalone mode, and under the General Tab of the Instance - Configuration branch, the All Initialisation Parameters button does exactly what it says it will do and shows me *every* parameter (except the underscore ones, but as they're not supported anyway, I'm not surprised). All 257 of them (I counted). So it then becomes a question merely of editing the ones that are listed, not trying to add to them.
But reading your post again, I don't think you want to add a new parameter at all. You just want to add a new value to an existing parameter (UTL_FILE_DIR takes a comma-separated list of values as its argument, rather in the same way as CONTROL_FILES does).
