Do you happen to have that build output? If there's a bug in the subversion port, I'd like to fix it :)

I don't think having an old ruby should prevent subversion from installing, though.

FYI, you probably don't want to mix installing things yourself in /usr/local and using macports. I would recommend that you remove your self-installed ruby and make use of the macports ruby port.
