I have no idea about what /etc/init.d/php-fcgi script you are talking. I 
guess it's distro specified script which use spawn-fcgi to spawn php.

As I said, depends on what cgi you are talking about.

Nginx don't have ability to run cgi itself, it can connect to listening 
php or any other fastcgi. If you are talking about php, you can use 
spawn-fcgi or php-fpm (better) to run php as specified user.

So yes, you can have php script running as selected user.

Your way of thinking has been distorted by apache's mod_php propably.
