I searched the web and found a list of files containing this funky one:
/usr/share/ri/1.9.1/system/Set/dig = {}/cdesc-dig = {}.ri

So perhaps you have a similar "file" somewhere on your system and
macports is being confused by the curly braces and failing.  Could be
a problem with the ruby package?  You could file a ticket.
