It should be already implemented in MEncoder. ve_lavc.c:612 has this:

#ifdef CODEC_FLAG_CLOSED_GOP
    lavc_venc_context->flags|= lavc_param_closed_gop;
#endif

What I'm not too sure though is if CODEC_FLAG_CLOSED_GOP is always
defined so this part of the code get compiled or not. MPlayer's doc
says that closed GOP is not implemented yet.
