A ticket has been filed for this [1], but neither the maintainer of  
rb-rubygems nor anybody else has responded to it.  I haven't been  
able to reproduce this error, and I don't really have an idea about  
what could have caused it.  Would you be able to provide the  
following information?

  * Operating System;
  * Version of MacPorts installed;
  * Version of rb-rubygems installed;
  * If you can remember, whether you installed your current version  
of rb-rubygems via an upgrade or from scratch; and
  * List of other ruby-related ports you have installed ("port echo  
installed and category:ruby" should do the trick).

I can't promise that I'll be able to help figure out what's going on,  
but we might get lucky.  I'll add any responders to this to the  
ticket, and any appropriate information, to the ticket so that others  
can see it in context.

Kind regards,
