There was a guy in #freebsd on FreeNode (IRC) yesterday describing the
exact same problem, but it was crashing when installing python. After
talking with him a while, we decided that either:
a) his ruby was broken and needed to be reinstalled
b) his portupgrade was broken and needed to be reinstalled
c) his pkgdb was broken (he tried running 'pkgdb -F' and it crashed)

Anyhow, I would suggest looking into reinstalling your ruby and
portupgrade. Hopefully that helps.
