Not at the moment, no. Last nights CVS ruby built cleanly though, you
can even use --enable-pthread on configure if you like.
I spoke to taca a while ago about pushing packages to 1.8, his feeling
was that 1.8 was still a little unproven, and there may have been
platform-specific issues.
Might be a candidate for pkgsrc-wip? I've been meaning to do it myself,
but I cant' think of a clean way to handle obsolete packages in 1.6..
