Here's an example, taken from a Debian etch system, see the attached files. 
unix:/dev/shm/trac-fcgi.sock is used for the communication between trac and 
nginx.

The trac fcgi process is started like this:

env PYTHONPATH=/path/to/site-packages \
  PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/var/tmp/.python-eggs \
  start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/trac.pid \
  --chuidwww-data:www-data --background --make-pidfile \
  --exec /usr/lib/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi

and can easily be stopped using 

start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/trac.pid

For debian, fastcgi_params is already provided by the nginx package, but 
included here for reference anyway.

Depending on how you installed trac, you probably don't need to set 
PYTHONPATH, and you can also comment out lines 5+6 in trac.fcgi.
