Two suggestions:
1. The most knowledgeable person who does nonparametric regression with
survey data is Jean Opsomer of Colorado State University. He uses R... and
generally R is far better suited for non-parametric stuff than Stata. I
vaguely remember Sharon Lohr (Arizona State University) presenting something
on non-parametric regression with survey data, and she is SAS-oriented.
2. You could consider a different version of a semi-parametric regression
model with splines, which are essentially additional regressors in your
model, and hence are estimable with -svy: regress-. I don't think you can
come up with any serious interpretation in terms of the population quantity
such regression attempts to estimate though.
