Loader's book is referring to the gam() function in S-plus (or S from Bell Labs), not the one in mgcv. They are very different things. I don't know if it's possible to implement local regression type smoothers (or something other than splines) in gam() in mgcv, but even if it's possible, the one in locfit won't work without quite a bit of work, I'd imagine.
