Yeah, my buddy just ran into this.  I think the build process for  
rubygems 0.8.11 is broken in darwin ports.  Go into /opt/local and do  
'find . -name setup.rb' look for the rubygems' setup.rb, and run that  
as root.  Refer to this page for install instructions: http:// 
www.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page13

If that still doesn't work, just install rubygems from source using -- 
prefix=/opt/local and that should work fine too.
