Well, yes, of course, I saw that, but the port does, in fact, build
just fine.

No, I have both 1.8 and 1.9.

# pkg_info -r amarok-1.4.10_14|grep ruby
Dependency: ruby-1.9.2.290_1,1

I know at least one amarok script bugs out on me (lyric-wiki).  But
otherwise, functionality seems quite normal.

Couldn't we use a USE_RUBY=1.8 knob or something, if necessary?

I'm personally of the opinion that if a particular script won't work
with ruby 1.9, it's the script that needs fixing.  YMMV.
