No. Either the OS has 1.9, then it's used (and never MacPorts' copy), or it
doesn't, then MacPorts' copy is always used. So the port does build
differently on different OS releases, but still doesn't depend on anything
installed or configured by the user. We would certainly want to avoid using
MacPorts ruby if it's there and system ruby if it isn't.
