Firstly: switch to rvm it's excellent for ruby management

If you don't want to then I believe you can remove the ruby package with (if installed with macports) with the following:

sudo port uninstall ruby19

To start using the new version of ruby you need to find where it is installed (it's something like /opt/local/<...>)

Then go to the Binary folder and add it to path.

export PATH=/opt/local/<...>:$PATH

Removing the old one, you might need to change some env variables as well.

Use RVM

EDIT: added sudo to port command and changed standard location
