Just some thoughts as others already identified the problem:

here's similar thread with some workarounds:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-September/131328.html

In the meantime I've found NOPORTDOCS variable - if you don't need
ruby docs just disable them (docs are generated during install part)

# cd /usr/ports/lang/ruby18
# make -DNOPORTDOCS install

The install part without docs takes about 30 seconds on 400Mhz/96MB
machine (it would take hours otherwise).

HTH,

Karol
