You have 2 options :
1/ contact DH support, and ask them to install the gem on your server
2/ "vendorize" the gem (== copy it to /vendor, like for plugins)
  see :
        * http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/gems
        * http://errtheblog.com/post/2120

  Note: this will not work with gems with C code that needs to be
compiled, like hpricot.

As a best practice, you should always vendorize your gems when possible.
