But you can use tools from base system:
cd /usr/ports/some_category/some_port
make
make deinstall
make reinstall
make clean

So this way you can upgrade ruby + portupgrade from (t)csh shell without 
need of compat7x.
Or even better, you can use portmaster instead of portupgrade. 
Portmaster is plain "sh" shell script without dependencies on any other 
port so it will work in your "broken" jails.
You just need cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster/ && make install clean 
&& rehash
