If you have access to the .htaccess file you can use this script to gzip css only to browsers that support it:

# This uses mod_deflate, which is pretty standard on Apache 2.  Loading
# mod_deflate looks like this:
#
#   LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
#
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/javascript text/css application/x-javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \\bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
