I believe Joss meant to do more than just evading the censors. I strongly believe 'gorram' was supposed to be how actual Chinese folks would pronounce 'god damn'. The sinocized version of the English cuss, as it were; much like 'Godzilla' is the anglicized form of the Japanese 'Gojira'.
Much as I love Firefly, gotta say though, frak and frakkin' work better. :)

Farscape, of course. You'd think that 'farscapeman' and 'peacekeeper' gave it away. :)
