I don't think so (you cannot give named arguments like that?). What does
args(locfit.censor) give?
Do you mean that x can be a vector or a formula, and y and cens are
ignored if x is a formula? If so that is what you need to say. E.g.
\usage{
locfit.censor(x, y, cens, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a vector or a formula ...}
\item{y, cens}{.... Ignored if \code{x} is a formula.}
\item{\dots}{....}
}

That's calling another function, locfit, which presumably you have
documented elsewhere.
BTW, \synopsis is likely to be deprecated for 2.3.0, so you don't want to
start using it for new help files now.
