Assuming these are only ports, I would suggest rebuilding ruby by hand, 
then doing a portupgrade -fa, which will force rebuild all ports. If you 
rebuilt critical system components (gcc for instance) with these CFLAGS, 
you might have no option but to reinstall world from CD.

Altivec support shouldn't be too very complicated to add to the kernel 
(a matter of saving/restoring vector registers and parsing VRSAVE), and 
is on my todo list when I have free time again and G5 support is imported.
