Since Ruby uses readline vi the extension, that should definitely work. Keep in mind as you do, however, that macirb is actually DietRB, a lightweight IRB replacement written by Eloy. So, there may be some differences with IRB. Personally, I've never tried vi-editing mode in either, but if you have some success be sure to let us know!

Is it possible to just build readline extension alone and place it in /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.2/universal-darwin10.0/readline.bundle
