Unable to install Gems with RubyGems on Intel OSX with DarwinPorts

I followed Duncan Davidson's Sandboxing Rails with Darwin Ports guide and
everything went fine up till the part where I had to install gems using gem
install. I would get this stacktrace:

Attempting local installation of 'rake'
Local gem file not found: rake*.gem

        from /opt/local/bin/gem:17

Adding GEM_PATH and GEM_HOME variables to ~/.profile didnt work either:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/apache2/bin:$PATH
export RUBYLIB=/opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:/opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8
export GEM_PATH=/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
export GEM_HOME=/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

Darwin Ports is installing ports in /opt/local/
Is there something I'm missing here?

There was a very recent thread on this topic [1]. I suggest installing gems /not/ through darwinports. You can download gems at http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/\. Make sure you run setup.rb using the correct ruby (/opt/local/bin/ruby).

yeah, following the steps to manually install the sources gem did the trick.
