You can give each gem a platform scope. Windows-only gems are the most common incarnation of this.
There is an OS X-only gem "ghost" (http://github.com/bjeanes/ghost/tree/master): ~ : sudo gem install ghost Password: Successfully installed ghost-0.1.2-universal-darwin-9 Mongrel is a great example of distributing gems for different platforms (unix, windows, java - see http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1306) Look inside their gemspec/hoe config for how they do this. MacRuby's gem command could be hard-wired to only pull down macruby gems of some sort. This is all I know without doing more investigation.
