You don't need gamm() for this as you don't appear to be using any random effects. gam() will be fine for the model you show below. I don't know enough about the workings of mgcv to know whether you can leverage functions in the multcomp package; gam objects inherit from glm and lm classes and multcomp can work with these, though do not the point in ?gamObject that gam objects lack the details of the fitting expected in glm or lm objects. IIRC, that model could be fitted as a linear mixed model if the smooth term is set up correctly. multcomp can work with nlme and lme4 so you could continue to use gamm() as below but use the multcomp package on the $lme component. The gamm4 package provides a version of gamm() that uses lme4 instead of nlme for the underlying fitting. Again you might look into using the lmer representation of the model with multcomp. None of the above is tested or even based on personal experience of doing this.
