Someone recently recommended to me that HomeBrew was far more reliable at 
installing ImageMagick than MacPorts. Perhaps you could try that?

But, taking a step back, what's the reason for installing ImageMagick/RMagick? 
Because, if you can avoid it, your life would be made easier.

For instance, we were using it because Gruff (graphing library) required it. 
We've since ditched that for client-side graphing libraries like g.Raphael, 
Grafico and/or Google Charts. The result has been much more responsive, 
dynamic, better looking graphs with a lower RAM footprint for the servers and 
virtually no installation headaches.

Perhaps there's a HTML5 alternative for your image processing needs? Something 
that uses Canvas? Or SVG / Raphaƫl?

I have literally wasted weeks of my life with various ImageMagick installs over 
the last few years... it's a pig of a library.
