RVM gemsets will help you manage multiple versions of Rails on a single system, but the real problem you have is managing the risk that something in your app will be broken by the upgrade. If you've got reasonable test coverage on your application, you'll probably be able to shortcut the process and skip past most of the patch releases. (Until something spectacularly fails, at least.)
