Well.. Gentoo also builds from source, so it tends to have all the 
header files! In addition, it doesn't shy away from adding requirements 
to ebuilds. I had an issue, in fact, where xemacs kept on being 
re-installed on my machine, and I eventually tracked the problem down to 
a specific USE flag on my (cue suspenseful music) dev-lang/ruby package. 
That's right.. Ruby required xemacs;-) I removed the USE flag and xemacs 
never came back.

This is true.

Besides the official portage tree, there are overlays; there is an 
overlay dedicated to Ruby, which has much more than the regular tree. 
You are right, though - there is a limitation, and the limitation always 
is "Who has created an ebuild (or .deb package) for this version of the 
gem?"
If the version we need isn't in the tree or the overlay, then either we 
create an ebuild for it or we install it with rubygems.
