Root access is preferred but not 100% required if all the dependent gems are installed. It looks like they have rmagick and ferret installed along with mysql. (MediaTemple does look it has a way to install other gems as long as they don't require native C compiling to install. But you should be good with what they have since we package those dependencies under vendor/plugins and vendor/gems.)
On a run-through of the FAQ page<http://www.mediatemple.net/webhosting/gs/faq.htm#64>you linked to, it looks like you should be okay with running Insoshi on the setup. The only thing you may need to change is how ferret runs in production mode (the default runtime enviroment at MT). You have the option of 1. Leaving the setup as is and start the ferret background process using script/ferret_server -e production start when you're in the application directory OR 2. Updating config/ferret_server.yml and comment out the production runtime information. This tells acts_as_ferret to run inline with the mongrel instead of trying to communicate with an external server process. You can only do this if you have a single mongrel process running which seems to be case at MT. Let me know if you run into any issues getting Insoshi installed. At this point it looks like I should start tracking the various hosting services that are being used and put together a FAQ/issues list.
