Try to play with $HOME environment variable.

For example:
- I use shared hosting
- I use fastcgi
- I haven't access to apache users's home and global gem repository
- I can install gem into my home directory
- check gem path
     $ gem env path
     /home/avsej/.gem/ruby/1.8:/opt/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
- add to dispath.fcgi something like:
     ENV['HOME'] = '/home/avsej'
- now when apache starts fastcgi dispatcher process it use my home 
instead of its
