portupgrade is written in Ruby, so this is to be expected.

This is the stage during the build where the Ruby documentation is built. =
It=20
is apparently a very memory-hungry part of the build... If you don't want t=
he=20
Ruby docs, or are happy to use the online versions at ruby-lang.org, then y=
ou=20
can set WITHOUT_RDOC to prevent the indexing process, or you can use=20
NOPORTDOCS when building Ruby. There are several ways to do this, dependin=
g=20
on what tools you use for your ports management. I would probably do=20
something like this in /etc/make.conf:
=2Eif ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/ruby18}
WITHOUT_RDOC=3D1
=2Eendif
This approach seems to work, no matter what tools you use.
