Fink (fink.sourceforge.net):

     ruby18-shlibs   1.8.0-11     ruby shared libraries

Darwinports (www.darwinports.org):

% /opt/local/bin/port search ruby
ruby            lang/ruby         1.8.1  Powerful and clean object-oriented \
                                         scripting language
rb-fxruby       ruby/rb-fxruby    1.0.27 Ruby bindings for the FOX GUI Toolkit.

                                         for Ruby

The Darwinports package works fine on my 10.3.x box:

% /opt/local/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [powerpc-darwin]
