yup... it should just work. I recommend `gem update --system`, but that's not strictly necessary. 1.9 ships with rubygems and homebrew (unlike many linux distros) doesn't cripple it. The other nice thing is that going the homebrew route opens up a lot of other things to the student (easy access to databases, editors, etc).
