Check /usr/local and make sure there is nothing there. In particular
make sure that /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg does not exist. It sounds
like this is already true, but also make sure that /var/db/pkg is
empty as well. If none of that works then you've got a bigger problem.
If you still can't install ruby and/or portupgrade, try installing a
simple port just using 'make clean ; make install' in the port's
directory. If that works, try a more complex port until something
fails. If nothing fails installing manually it's a problem with
portupgrade and/or ruby and you can send in a new bug report focusing
on that.
You might also consider using portmaster of course. :)
hope this helps,
Doug
