No. Providers operate on the client side (only). Everything your provider requires for correct operation must therefore be available on the client. Moreover, it must be visible to the whole agent process in which the provider runs in order for the provider to be able to load it. It is conceivable that there is some way to isolate at, requiring the provider to perform some kind of special incantation to load it, but at that point it's probably not actually a gem any more.
