Going "out on a limb" here, but IIRC this looks a lot like
portupgrade and/or ruby is out of date.  Have a peek at
/usr/ports/UPDATING (or maybe a grep would be better)
and see if it looks familiar.

Apologize for noise if you've passed that milestone.  I'm
thinking it should be pretty old by now, but I remember
getting bit by something very similar....
