DB[:blah].insert(:text_column=>'foo', :text1_column=>'bar', 
:geom_column=>:GeomFromText.sql_function('POINT(-1,
-1)'))

You might consider adding a method like:

  def geom_point(x, y)
    :GeomFromText.sql_function("POINT(#{x.to_i}, #{y.to_i})"))
  end

Then you could do:

 
DB[:blah].insert(:text_column=>'foo', :text1_column=>'bar', 
:geom_column=>geom_point(-1,
-1))

You could also define a GeomPoint class if you want to handle more
geometry related stuff in ruby, and just add an sql_literal method to
it that produced the correct SQL.  Then Sequel would integrate with it
automatically.
