Rdoc does! Just use the -A option:

rdoc -A abstract_method=ABSTRACT

or something like that. Change ABSTRACT to be something you like that 
will tag the attr the the rdoc output.

rdoc -h | grep -A 5 "accessor"
       --accessor, -A accessorname[,..]
                 comma separated list of additional class methods
                 that should be treated like 'attr_reader' and
                 friends. Option may be repeated. Each accessorname
                 may have '=text' appended, in which case that text
                 appears where the r/w/rw appears for normal accessors.
