No, that's not quite it.

Really, what I'd like, is to be able to put multi-line Ruby code 
snippets into a yml file.

For example, my yml file-

source_id:
  a=2
  b=2
  if (a==b)
    c=3
  end

And my ruby-

Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)
>> require 'yaml'
=> []
>> test = YAML::load_file("test.yml")
=> {"source"=>"a=2 b=2 if (a==b) c=3 end"}
>> eval(test['source'])
SyntaxError: (eval):1:in `irb_binding': compile error
(eval):1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting $end
a=2 b=2 if (a==b) c=3 end
     ^
        from (irb):3
        from (irb):3
