I think you are missing some things. First, the VirtualHost section 
requires a ServerName directive.
Then, if you decided to put rt3 at /rt URI, all the paths must be coherent.
So maybe you should try something like:

    # Tell FastCGI to put its temporary files somewhere sane.
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi
    # Number of processes is tunable, but you need at least 3 or 4
    # "FastCgiServer" is illegal in the VirtualHost section
FastCgiServer /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi \
	-idle-timeout 300 -processes 4
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName fqdn.of.your.server
     DocumentRoot /your/server's/home/page
     ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-rt-error.log
     CustomLog /var/log/httpd-rt.log common

     # Pass through requests to display images
     Alias /rt/ /opt/rt3/share/html/
     ScriptAlias /rt/ /opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/

     AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
     #the following Directory is necessary only if the default
     #is blocking access to cgi.
     <Directory /opt/rt3/bin>
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
     </Directory>
     #don't pass images to mason
     <Location /rt/NoAuth/images >
         SetHandler default-handler
     </Location>
     AddHandler fastcgi-script fcgi
</VirtualHost>

Hope this helps,

Angelo.
