I apologize, I'm running 10.6.8 (which has the 10.8 kernel). This is a

Hmm, we have different versions of ruby...

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.

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.

Well, I fixed the issue by trying different versions of ruby. Gem was
also the problem.

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-darwin10]

$ gem --version
1.3.7

$ port list installed | grep ruby
rb-mysql                       @2.7.5          ruby/rb-mysql
rb-rubygems                    @1.3.7          ruby/rb-rubygems
ruby                           @1.8.7-p352     lang/ruby

That seemed to get me working and allow me to load the mysql db_driver.
