This is a gem issue really. It enables running "gem server" and getting
a web server with browse-able docs for all your gems. The fact that it
duplicates some of the bits is a side effect of how the templates work.
Some folks find it nice for development. It's not so useful for servers.
You could complain to upstream. You could also add this to make.conf:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/*rubygem-*}
OPTIONS_UNSET=  DOCS
.endif

A patch to make DOCS default to off for all gems would be interesting.
