It''s a question of personal taste. In the case of ruby, I prefer using
the gem system as it is fully integrated and easy to use, also it will
allow you to update as soon as there is an update available for your
gem, a thing that might be longer with macports since someone has to
update the repository. Macports is very useful to install some packages
that you might want to use with rails such as MySQL or Apache.
