sounds like you may want to contact freebsd-questions or the port  
maintainer. I've used freebsd in the past and I can tell you that  
portupgrade does indeed use ruby, so if your ruby installation is not  
functioning properly you won't be able to use that. Unless there are  
some ruby/freebsd gurus here (which there very well may be...) you  
will need to give your error information to the freebsd-questions  
list or the maintainer of the ruby port.
