Maybe complete remove of ruby and dependend packages
followed by a reinstall of all of them may help.
If you only have portupgrade installed, you can
simply
# pkg_delete -rx ruby
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
# make install clean

If you have other ruby-dependend ports, please write them down,
eg. by
$ cd
$ ls -l /var/db/pkg/ >installed-packages
$ su -
# [above procedure]
$ ls -l /var/db/pkg/ >after-reinstall-ruby-packages
$ diff installed-packages after-reinstall-ruby-packages

And then reinstall all packages missing (and you need).

Jens
