Given that the Heroku platform has only a read filesystem how does one generate bitcoin address for each sale on a site running on Heroku. Is there a simple solution to using bitcoin on Heroku?

Heroku supports Java so you could deploy BitcoinJ to a heroku server. I have done this in the past but it's non-trivial.

Your probably better off connecting to a Bitcoin payments provider, i.e. http://bitcoinpayflow.com/

BitcoinPayflow should work. They host the bitcoind, you just request addresses over an API and they forward the funds. It's just a matter of trusting a third party with your payments.

For what it's worth, I've been using them for quite some time and so far, so good.

No, not really. You will have to build your app so it can connect to a bitcoin daemon hosted on a normal VPS, using SSL off course.
