Loads of tips on this site - freezing the gum really does work http://www.tipking.com/cleaning/tip_387.shtml
Try putting the trousers in the freezer, and then it should all harden up and be removed easily.
Use an ice spray available from most chemists for sports injuires. This will freeze the gum so it can be chipped off. Use a spray with no added extra ingredients to prevent further staining.
But take them off first.

thanks for the fmpink, why the hell didn't i think of that first ;-)
Carefully cut around the gum then put in the freezer. You should be able to peel off the remainder of the fabric withought losing too much of the gum. Once defrosted the gum should be ready to enjoy again.
