You can make locals appear as watch expressions in the speedbar by clicking
on them in with mouse-2 in the locals buffer (when they are not simple
data types). However, you can't automatically put all locals in the speedbar
and they won't refresh with a frame change.
Watch expressions in the speedbar use a feature of GDB called variable objects
(which is part of GDB/MI) and this could be used for locals. Indeed Apple do
this in their version of GDB and the Insight debugger has this functionality
but I have no plans to submit such changes for FSF GDB. Emacs uses the MI
command which is more lightweight but faster.
