This could be a start
class Object
  def _super *args, &blk
    name = caller[2].split.last.delete("'`")
    mthd = self.class.ancestors[1..-1].inject( nil ){ |mthd, mod|
      mthd = mthd || ( mod.instance_method name rescue nil )
    }
    raise NoMethodError, "wassit?" unless mthd
    mthd.bind( self ).call( *args, &blk )
  end
end
class A
  def a; p 42 end
end

class B < A
  def a &blk
    instance_eval( &blk )
  end
  def b &blk
    instance_eval( &blk )
  end

end
B::new.a{ _super }
B::new.b{ _super }

very quick, very dirty and not very much tested (well just the two calls below)
but that might get you somewhere
