Dear Sebastián -- neither geepack nor gam provide GMM estimators. GMM -- or at 
least minimum distance estimation techniques -- rely on fitting by linear or 
more often non-linear least squares functions of smaller parameter vectors to 
the empirical moments of your problem. R is a suitable tool for this, but there 
is AFAIK know general GMM package.

The details of our model would need to be known before any further advice can be 
given.

Markus
