I wrote up some instructions for doing this here:

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyOnMacintosh/OpenGLandGLUT

I'm pretty sure they are still current but please, PLEASE do modify
them if you've got anything new to offer. The one thing i ought to add
to them is that it seems that GLUT.BitmapCharacter(font, char) doesn't
seem to work - it's to do with the (void *)font argument. I've got
around it by adding my own glut_BitmapCharacterX(char) with the font
value hard-coded in, within the glut.c file, but this isn't a
show-stopper bug.

anyway - please update those instructions, lets try and collate all
the ruby on osx info if we can :)
