First, find out the svn revision number of the Portfile you want by  
visiting the following URL.  In your case, it turns out to be 16709.

	http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/lang/ 
ruby/Portfile

Next, set up a local repository:

	sudo port install subversion
	mkdir /Users/Shared/dports
	sudo sed -e '1i\
	file:///Users/Shared/dports' -i~ /opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf

Now retrieve that versioned port and install it in your local  
repository:

	cd /Users/Shared/dports
	svn co --revision 16709 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/ 
trunk/dports/lang/ruby/ lang/ruby/
	portindex /Users/Shared/dports

Finally, install ruby again.  Your private portfile from the local  
repository will be used, as it's listed first in sources.conf.

	sudo port uninstall -f ruby
	sudo port install ruby

Of course, if you already have a local repository set up, there's no  
need to add another one. ;-)

Hope this helps,
Marc
