How about a little trick. Make Id column of the table a string and
then:

class Friendship < ActiveRecord::Base

 belongs_to :sender, ...
 belongs_to :requester, ...

 before_validation :standarize_id, :on => :create
 validates_uniqueness_of :id

 def standarize_id
  self.id = [sender.id, requester.id].sort.join(",")
 end

end

This way we don't forget the information about whose is the sender and
who is requester. Instead we relay on standarized unique id for the
the couple.
