~/src/macports $ nm -arch i386 /opt/local/lib/libruby.dylib | grep rb_num2uint

~/src/macports $ nm -arch x86_64 /opt/local/lib/libruby.dylib | grep rb_num2uint
000000000004266e T _rb_num2uint

This is because the function is only available in 64bit ruby where int != long. vim handles this by checking macros that are set at configure time rather than build time:

# if VIM_SIZEOF_INT < VIM_SIZEOF_LONG /* 64 bits only */
#  if defined(DYNAMIC_RUBY_VER) && DYNAMIC_RUBY_VER <= 18
#   define rb_fix2int                   dll_rb_fix2int
#   define rb_num2int                   dll_rb_num2int
#  endif
#  define rb_num2uint                   dll_rb_num2uint
# endif

I suggest vim use muniversal to address this
