I'm sorry for delayed answer, these busy days ...

The patch was pulled up to 2005Q4, right? 
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2005/12/28/0107.html)

So I tested (today's) 2005Q4 fresh installation on Slackware-10.1 
(i386), bootstrap and 'bmake install' of lang/ruby. Installation ended 
without problems, here are installed packages:

# pkg_info
libtool-base-1.5.18nb6 Generic shared library support script (the script 
itself)
digest-20050731     Message digest wrapper utility
pkg_install-info-4.5nb3 Standalone GNU info file installation utility
db4-4.3.29          Berkeley DB version 4 from Sleepycat Software
ruby18-base-1.8.3nb2 Ruby 1.8 based release minimum package
bison-2.1           GNU yacc(1) replacement
ruby-1.8.3nb1       Wrapper package for Ruby programming language
#

Some Slackware packages, which were also present during pkgsrc installation:
# ls -1 /var/log/packages/ | egrep "(db4|bison|yacc)"
bison-1.35-i386-1
byacc-1.9-i386-1
db4-4.2.52-i486-2
