If it is compatible, yes.  You can try switching MODRUBY_REV to 1.9, 2.0,
or 2.1 and see if it still works.

1.8 is still the most common version in ports for software that embeds
ruby.  Check the results of:

find /usr/ports -name Makefile | fgrep -v ruby | xargs fgrep -l lang/ruby
|xargs fgrep MODRUBY_REV

It is true that ruby 1.8 is not supported upstream anymore.  However, if
there are any security issues reported in a newer ruby version that affect
our ruby 1.8 port, I will try to backport the fix.

Thanks,
Jeremy
