You version is so far back that the upgrade is hopeless. You have things=20
that no long exist as parts of portupgrade and your version can't deal=20
with that. It is easier if you delete the portupgrade, ruby-*,=20
pkg_tartup, and what ever is left and reinstall it.
FWIW, it works flawlessly now. I just recently upgraded to the 1216=20
version by using "portupgrade -rpuf ruby".
