Yes and no.

For the gadget XML itself, the answer is no; the XML is cached by
Google and must be on a publicly-accessible web server, using a global
URL.

For type="url" gadgets, the sub-answer is yes: the associated href can
indeed be a local URL.

For type="html" gadgets, where the content is embedded in the gadget
XML itself, obviously this content will be cached and served by Google
along with the rest of the gadget spec. However, external resources
referenced by the gadget can be served from localhost; for example, it
would be fine for your content to include a tag like <script
src="http://localhost/my_script.js";></script>. However, as with all
external resources, you will need to be careful with timing in this
case.
