Looking at the port:
1) Don't hardcode /usr/local in the patch. Use LOCALBASE in the patch and
SUBST_CMD in a pre-configure block in the Makefile. See the
www/ruby-passenger port for an example of that.
2) Remove ${GEM_EXTENSIONS_DIR} and ${GEM_LIB}/gems/${DISTNAME}/ext/
directories and stuff underneath them from the PLIST.
3) If you would like to be the maintainer of this port, please add yourself
as MAINTAINER in the Makefile.
Thanks,
Jeremy
