I've opened a ticket with a patch to the rb-rubygems Portfile This patch updates it to 0.9.1. The current (0.9.0) and previous versions are being deprecated due to a security issue, and will stop working (for remote repository access) soon. https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11277 If someone could verify the checksums, verify that it works, and commit it, I'd be grateful!
