I don't know the answer to your question... but, running a Fox .EXE is 'almost' as easy. However, your web server needs to support ISAPI. If they do you can use FoxIsapi.dll to run a VFP automation server. Which would require your host provider to register the .EXE. Which you may be able to do remotely.
If you do figure out how to run a vfp exe directly as a CGI program, let me know.
