I'm not sure because I installed Ruby 1.9 from source, but others have
said that macports installs ruby 1.1 with the suffix 19, so as not to
conflict with the base install.

If so ruby19 should get you there.

The hot ticket these days for managing multiple versions of Ruby on OS
X and Linux is the rvm gem

I haven't tried yet, but probably will look at it myself after I
finish migrating to Snow Leopard.
