In full generality this is a quite difficult problem as discussed in Durbin's (1973) SIAM monograph. An elegant general approach is provided by Khmaladze
@article{Khma:Arie:1981,
author = {Khmaladze, E. V.},
title = {Martingale approach in the theory of goodness-of-fit tests},
year = {1981},
journal = {Theory of Probability and its Applications (Transl of Teorija Verojatnostei i ee Primenenija)},
volume = {26},
pages = {240--257}
}
but I don't think that there is a general implementation of the approach for R, or
any other software environment, for that matter.

Hi,
is there any method for goodness of fit testing of an (as general as
possible) univariate distribution with parameters estimated, for normal,
exponential, gamma distributions, say (e.g. the corrected p-values for
the Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Chi-squared with corresponding ML estimation
method)?
It seems that neither ks.test nor chisq.test handle estimated parameters.
I am aware of function goodfit in package vcd, which seems to it for some
discrete distributions.
Thank you for help, Christian
