Peter,

You are looking for the Series with x^g factored out, i.e., 

n = 5;
s = x^g * Series[Sin[x], {x, 0, n}];

Redefine Series to automatically handle the factoring

mySeries[expr_, {x_Symbol, x0_?NumericQ, n_Integer}] := 
  Module[{t = Series[#, {x, x0, n}] & /@ expr, f},
    f = Times @@ 
        Cases[t, y_?(! FreeQ[#, Series] &) :> First[y]];
    f * Series[expr/f, {x, x0, n}]]

s == mySeries[x^g Sin[x], {x, 0, n}]

True

I haven't tested this very thoroughly so there may be situations where it 
does not work as expected.
