You are re-inventing the wheel:

http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/rubygem-ohai/

You're efforts would be better served to fix whatever prevents that port
from building (on top of providing patches for it).

These types of ports are generally very low level, using C to check
kernel structures.  They are extremely system specific.  It's not even
the only ruby package that does this either.
