Yes: passenger and mongrel are very decent backends.

At least on Debian Linux there are binary packages for passenger 
(libapache2-mod-passenger) as well as mongrel. Apparently you are on a 
*BSD-based system. In case you haven't looked already, make sure there 
are no binary packages readily available for your systems. Consider 
building the necessary packages yourself and integrate them with your 
distribution system.

deploying rails applications. If this is the case, I'd recommend using 
passenger in favor of mongrel and the more esoteric options. It is 
easier to get support and it is easier in production as there aren't as 
many (different) processes you need to monitor. -- If I misinterpreted 
your question, well, go ahead and use your experience.
