ok, here is two quick options, both have limitations but they work to some
point:

if you don't need a terminal output for your app, create a folder hierarchy
around it to make it a ruby app like this:
appname.rb.app/Contents/MacOS/your_excutable_script.rb

the .rb.app seems to be the important detail not to forget in here.

or, if you need a terminal display for your app, you can always drop your
.command (a said in my previous answer) in the document part of your dock
(if you are on Leopard) and then clicking it will open a terminal and run
it.
