This may not apply exactly, but here are notes to myself from the last  
time I tried to install fxri (using macports).  These instructions are  
old, so you a) could probably use Leopard's version of ruby and b)  
could probably use newer versions.  Anyway, I hope this helps:

$ sudo port install ruby
$ sudo port install fox
$ sudo port install fxscintilla

Here are the versions I've got:

$ port installed ruby fox fxscintilla
The following ports are currently installed:
   ruby @1.8.4_2 (active)
   fox @1.2.13_1 (active)
   fxscintilla @1.63_0+darwin_8 (active)

$ sudo gem install fxruby -- --with-fox-include=/opt/local/include/ 
fox-1.2 --with-fox-lib=/opt/local/lib --with-fxscintilla-include=/opt/ 
local/include/fxscintilla --with-fxscintilla-lib=/opt/local/lib

(I selected fxruby version 1.2.6 instead of 1.4.4 since I have fox 1.2  
instead of 1.4 installed).  Then build and install fxruby (1.2.6 - the  
same version as the gem) from source (yes, this is necessary):

$ ruby install.rb config -- --with-fox-include=/opt/local/include/ 
fox-1.2 --with-fox-lib=/opt/local/lib --with-fxscintilla-include=/opt/ 
local/include/fxscintilla --with-fxscintilla-lib=/opt/local/lib
$ ruby install.rb setup
$ sudo ruby install.rb install
$ sudo gem install fxri
