The ruby port should probably be renamed to / replaced_by ruby18.

There should probably be a ruby-select port.

The ruby portgroup would then need to be overhauled as well.

I don't think anybody's worked on the ruby ports in awhile; if you're 
interested you should coordinate with the ruby maintainer.

Yes, the github portgroup should be able to coexist with other portgroups.
