Not really with stock Ruby. However along with JRuby there is a
project to run PHP on the JVM. A design goal for all the languages now
being supported is that there should be as little barrier to calling
from one to another as possible. It's reasonable to think that as
JRuby and the PHP implementation (Quercus) mature, the boundary
between the two will lessen. Indeed, we've already discussed with some
of the Javascript-oriented folks at Sun how to make Javascript and
Ruby work well together in the JVM. Interoperability will happen, so
you may get what you're looking for in the near future.
