You do something like this

$(document).on("pageinit", function () {
  $("[data-role=panel] a").on("click", function () {
    if($(this).attr("href") == "#"+$.mobile.activePage[0].id) {
      $("[data-role=panel]").panel("close");
    }
  });
});

Update: For jQM >= 1.4 use $.mobile.pageContainer.pagecontainer("getActivePage") instead of $.mobile.activePage.
