Thanks for your quick response Kris. 

OK, looking at /usr/ports/MOVED, I see a number of ruby* pieces have been 
moved. 

Is there an easy/correct method to use to migrate to a moved/renamed port.  
And I'm curious about dependencies.  For example, portupgrade's own version 
has not changed, and 'pkg_info -r portupgrade*' still shows 
ruby-1.6.8.2003.04.19 as required. 

My guess would be:
1) pkg_delete ruby-1.6.8.2003.04.19
2) cd /usr/ports/lang/ruby16 (or ruby18?)
3) make install 

But I could be way wrong here... :)
