It seems that "rewrite ^/gallery3/$ ..." is not used since "/gallery3"
directory should exist.

The way I prefer to use:

   location /gallery3/ {

       root  /path/to/gallery3;

       location /gallery3/index.php/(.+)$ {
           try_files       $uri    /gallery3/index.php?kohana_uri=$1;
       }

       location /gallery3(/.+)$ {
           try_files       $uri    /gallery3/index.php?kohana_uri=$1;
       }

       location = /gallery3/index.php {
           fastcgi_pass    backend;
           fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME  /path/to/gallery3/index.php;
           include         fastcgi_params;
       }
   }
