This is fully possible.
The simplest way is to make the config-directory reachable via NFS from your Observium-host. You can then mount this directory on the Observium-host and point observium to the mounted dir.
For example, mount the rancid-config at /mnt/rancid/configs
and then put this in your config.php: 
$config['rancid_configs'][]              = "/mnt/rancid/configs";

Observium will now look in this directory for rancid-config files and try to match them to the hosts in you Observium-inventory.

Hi

We have a RANCID installation on another server than Observium is running on, is there a way to integrate that?

Looks pretty straightforward if RANCID is installed on the same machine as Observium but not if it is on another machine.
