Is there a way to install [gems with native extensions like hpricot] without having sudo rights (ie: compiling into some specific folder, telling rubygems where to pick the binaries, or any other solution ?)

The same way you install any other gem:

$ gem install hpricot
WARNING:  Installing to ~/.gem since /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 and
          /usr/bin aren't both writable.
WARNING:  You don't have /Users/drbrain/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin in your PATH,
          gem executables will not run.
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed hpricot-0.6.164
1 gem installed
[...]

If a gem is set up to move files into site_lib, it is broken and you should file a bug with the author.
