You do need bash to build ruby 2.0, but not any earlier or later version. There were bugs in ruby 2.0's configure script, and they were unable to backport the necessary fixes to it. ruby is needed to build subversion for the ruby-subversion subpackage, but you can build with the no_ruby PSUEDO_FLAVOR to not require ruby or build that subpackage.
