For what its worth, I was able to build wxRuby successfully on FreeBSD4.8,
but only with Ruby1.8, the 1.6 version is missing some header files that
wxRuby
references.
The only changes were:

diff -r1.19 extconf.rb
19c19
< if /linux/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM
---
> if /linux/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM or /i386-freebsd/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM

and the generated Makefile needed to be modified to include the wxWindows
header files.

< CPPFLAGS = -I. -I$(topdir) -I$(hdrdir) -I$(srcdir)
---
> CPPFLAGS = -I. -I$(topdir) -I$(hdrdir) -I$(srcdir)  -I/usr/local/include

I am still struggling with the Mingw build, inspite of hand-holding by Gour.
For now, I have a MSW and a *nix build to start playing around, will revisit
mingw later if I possible.

If you need them, the binaries are at
