Uh, no.
Not if it isn't installed via Mac ****ts (formerly known as Darwin ****ts)
But it is likely that the current (or a future) one-click installer  
will be maintained for custom installs...
but with a better bundled Ruby, we might see even Apple making use of  
its install. They already occasionally make use of Perl and Python  
bundled with OS X.
