`gam' in package `mgcv' will let you supply any smoothing parameter you want (via argument `sp') and will get the fit and corresponding GCV score for you (`gcv.ubre' in the `gam' object). The CV score you'd have to calculate yourself, but `influence.gam' will extract the necessary H_ii. See the examples in ?smooth.construct for how to use the truncated polynomial basis with mgcv:gam.
