Although it's probably not ideal for a pure Ruby environment, I used Flying Saucer (a Java lib) under JRuby a few years ago. It's a lot like Prince but open source. I found it excellent for HTML/CSS to PDF conversion and it may well get you out of your Solaris pickle.
If you want to do the conversion as a background process, you could always call out to JRuby or even plain Java to run this, so as not to pollute your pure Ruby environment.
