Some of that may have been because my Ports version was old. I just did a self-update and a new ruby package was part 
of that. It, however, had no effect on my ability to run metasploit.

The other reason for the version string discrepancy may be that I'm running under 10.7 and not 10.6.8. That would 
explain the darwin10 vs. darwin11 kernel versions. After my experience with Lion, I'd be hard pressed to think that 
something would work better under 10.7 than 10.6 :) Have you tried dumping the gems install and reinstalling:

Probably something like:

sudo port uninstall rb-rubygems

I don't believe, based on the fact that mine works in a similar enough environment, that there is a direct 
incompatibility with MS and the ruby 1.9 build in Mac Ports.
