This might be a bitcoinwatch FAQ. Many people often assume that the gold/BTC value is simply calculated from the BTC/USD price, after getting a spot gold quote from some third party financial website.
The above method described by jgarzik would be the best way to show BTC/Gold in $. I don't know how difficult it is to pull Gold/USD prices from a third source, but definitely this would be very accurate.
