Yes this is possible.  The trick is to embed the *execution* of Ruby 
interpreter inside a POSIX thread[1], while doing the initialization 
inside the main thread.  See http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/144747 for 
examples and discussion.

In fact, I've used this exact technique for my Ruby-VPI project[1], 
which embeds Ruby inside a Verilog simulator.
