rb-cocoa should not fail to instal if it can't write to /Library — at Version 1

Description (last modified by blb@…)

When macports is installed to my $HOME dir and I attempt to install rb-cocoa it fail to install. I do not need developer templates. I just need the library. Maybe make the +xcode variant for people that need it?

Installing there is also violating the standard MacPorts filesystem layout, so it should definitely be changed; of course Xcode probably won't see them if they're moved, so perhaps a message during post-activate pointing out the alternate location and that they should be symlinked or something?
