You can use RImport[0] to add RDoc'ed files into ri.  Results, of 
course, depend on the quality (and existence) of code comments.

Several files have been rimported into the online ri[1]  at 
ruby-doc.org, e.g.:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/find/ri/Time

BTW, I found some formaatting bugs in rimport and hope to have the fixes 
available soon.
