No, there's nothing built in. However, some quick Googling found:
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-sms/

And a site which is running on rails which sends reminders to your phone:
http://ohdontforget.com/

But SMS can almost always just be sent as email, right? So you could use 
any kind of mailer library or Net/SMTP (in the standard library) to 
generate and send emails to your phone's email address. Usually that's 
something like <phonenumber>@verizon.net or similar.


Hope that helps a little bit.
