It would be easier to write the core implementation as regular C# library (i.e. not IronRuby.Libraries.*) and write the public API in Ruby that would internally call to that library. The Ruby file could call load_assembly 'CoreFFI.dll' and then use the classes defined there.
This way you don't even need to include the code to IronRuby main repo, it could be a separate gem.

One question: should the port be written in pure Ruby, or should this be a C# library in the same vein as YAML (IronRuby.Libraries.Yaml)? I was leaning towards the latter, where I would branch from IronLanguages/Main, adding a Libraries.FFI folder beside Libraries.Yaml. Cheers, -Charles
