If learning to install stuff from source is the goal, following a 
step-by-step recipe off the net may give some insight.  Personally I'd 
rather just have stuff work, and spend my time on the real issues.

I have ruby, rubygems, postgres, vim and subversion installed from 
ports.  Including dependencies that's 20+ packages, all installed with 
~5 lines, and updated in 1.  It seems rock solid (I'm new to macs as 
well - guess ~2 months).

These instructions worked for me:

I stopped after the postgres driver.  Should perhaps have gotten that 
from gems, but it seems to be working fine.


Afraid I can't say quite what your gems issue is, but google does have a 
few interesting links on the first page:
