Hi, I just recently discovered the same problem, not sure if you've
figured it out by now (looks like your post was a while ago...).
I don't know why rubygems did not find the darwin version because if I
go to rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=596&release_id=3732
the darwin gem is right there, just install with
sudo gem install /path/to/fireruby_0.4.1_powerpc_darwin.gem
