Yes and no.

There is Rubyscript2exe:

That said suspect it would not be too hard to hack into the exe and retriev=
e
the script, as I believe it stores the script text and then interprets it
using an embedded interpreter.  I think any language that's interpreted wil=
l
be hackable, question is how hard you can make it for them.  I also suspect
we can make it a lot harder in Ruby 2.0, with a Ruby VM.
