As you suggested I tried the following config:
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  domainame.com;

    root /data/www/domainame.com;
    include fastcgi.conf;

    location ^~ /gocart/ {
      location ~ \.php($|/) {
        fastcgi_split_path_info (.*.php)(/.*);
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000; #unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
      }
    }
}

But when I navigate to http://domainame.com/gocart nginx returns 403 Forbidden.

Basically what I'm trying to do is to run gocart
(https://gocartdv.com) and phorum (www.phorum.org) in
domainame.com/gocart and domainame.com/forum (they are in
/data/www/domainname.com/gocart/ and /data/www/domainame.com/forum).
