there might be a better approach, but i was able to substitute a custom locator successfully using this approach..

near line 2697 of main.js

//define the custom locator
var geocoders = [{
 url: "http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/TA_Address_NA_10/GeocodeServer",
 name: "NA Geocoder",
 //substitute whatever parameter your own locator uses for single line input here
        singleLineFieldName: "SingleLine"
}];
_self._geocoder = new esri.dijit.Geocoder({
        map: _self.map,
 //setting arcgisGeocoder to false ensures that the url specifed for "_self.options.locatorserviceurl" in line 295 won't be used
        arcgisGeocoder: false,
        theme: 'modernGrey',
 //pass in the locator (and options) you defined above
        geocoders: geocoders,
        autoComplete: true
}, dom.byId("geocoderSearch"));
