Would you mind explaining this a little more? It is not clear to me why (as a developer just starting to use Ruby) I would want to get my libraries from MacPorts instead directly from rubyforge or another gem server. In a similar vein, should MacPorts replace CPAN (Perl) or PEAR (PHP)?
It gives you one system for controlling (and updating) added software on your machine.
It also helps keep everything in ${prefix} (/opt/local) under MacPorts control.
