Looking at <http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Code+Generation+Targets> it seems that someone worked on a Ruby target, but gave up. To create a Ruby target you have basically to copy the Java target files and replace any Java specific code with Ruby ones. The code generation site contains two useful links for doing so.

I recommend to ask Ter for a Perforce account as the current files are already moving towards 3.2 and you would need to do less work overall.
