Fixed a sorta obvious bug and added a new feature to acts_as_chimp today. You can now specify a list of merge tags in your acts_as_chimp model declaration like so:
[sourcecode language='ruby']
acts_as_chimp :mailing_list_id => ‘your_list_id’, :mail_merge => {”EMAIL” => :email, “FNAME” => :first_name, “LNAME” => :last_name }
[/sourcecode]

The plugin will read the method values corresponding to the symbols above when posting to MailChimp.

As an aside, the kind folks at MailChimp recently added acts_as_chimp to
their plugin page.
