Hi,

there is a utility, called portaudit, which notifies You about the 
packages, that have security issues. You can see here that ruby has an 
arbitrary command execution error, and its use is unsafe, that's why You 
couldn't installed it. If You want to install it anyway You should 
remove portaudit, or edit your portaudit.conf file to ignore that 
vulnerability.
Anyway,  You should have read the message first and asked via 
freebsd-questions@ or via freebsd-stable@ instead of
sebding a false error report.

Cheers,

Gábor Kövesdán
