Dave, You can definitely run radiant on Heroku.
We're actively in the process of trying to get 1.0 out and the issue with the Gemfile.lock has come up and we're addressing it. I've not looked at the wiki about that in a while, but we'll update the information when its available. You should be able to run on 0.9.1 Take a look at Jeff Casimir's tips about it https://groups.google.com/group/radiantcms-dev/msg/d47949c17daf9a83?pli=1 This will get easier, I promise, but please leave feedback about the details above.
