http://rubyforge.org/ , for one. But I'd argue it's not really Hackage, so much as a pretty wrapper for darcs.haskell.org. (Gems is the Ruby equivalent of Cabal and Hackage.)
I've been programming in Ruby for about 1.5 years, and rubyforge is one of the strong "features" of the community. It's a central place where libraries can be distributed easily to other ruby hackers. From my limited experience with Haskell (about 5 months), finding, installing, and using libraries is one of the bigger pains. For example, if I want to install Rails (ruby web-app framework), I just type: gem install rails It's pretty slick.
