Actually, all I needed to do was:

sudo port install ghostscript
sudo port install imagemagick
sudo gem install rmagick

and it seems to work fine.

I'm getting some font errors when building the examples.
RMagick: unable to read font `helvetica'.
RMagick: unable to read font `Verdana'.

But I don't think I have any Microsoft fonts installed...
