This is what I have.

stephen #grep RUBY /etc/portage/make.conf
RUBY_TARGETS="ruby20"

stephen # ls -l /usr/bin/rdoc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jun  6 20:13 /usr/bin/rdoc -> rdoc20

stephen # eselect ruby list
Available Ruby profiles:
  [1]   ruby19 (with Rubygems)
  [2]   ruby20 (with Rubygems) *

Regards
