Now that I've used MacPorts to install Ruby, what's the best way to deal with the fact that the default shebang location is #!/usr/bin/env ruby? (That's the standard, if you share files.) Should I create a symbolic link there, back to /opt/local/bin? Will that do the trick?

You don't need to change anything in the scripts. They should work fine provided that your $PATH is set properly. /usr/bin/env searches the current $PATH for the argument. If you have /opt/local/bin/ before /usr/bin, then it should properly evaluate to /opt/local/bin/ ruby. You can manually type it into your shell take make sure that the shebang evaluates correctly.
