I do something similar for RiCal, which works using either activesupport or the tzinfo gem. I've set up rake tasks to run the specs with either one. What I do is to have an auxiliary ruby file to do the right require which the spec task invokes via the -r option. You should be able to do something similar by having the auxiliary files use the gem directive to specify a particular version of active_record. Have a look at http://github.com/rubyredrick/ri_cal/tree/master/tasks/ Particularly spec.rake and the files in the gem_loader sub directory.
