If Sandra Day O'Connor was still on the court, how would she likely rule on gay marriage?

She would probably vote that the Supreme Court does not have jurisdiction in the matter and that gay marriage is up to the individual states to allow. She would also probably vote that any ban on gay marriage such as California's referendum would be unconstitutional under the equal protection clause. Her record was actually quite consistent, she was for equal rights, not special rights.
