Broken pack/unpack workaround

Array#pack and String#unpack are broken on OS X Tiger's ruby build. This is known. I'm writing a lib where pack and unpack are used extensively and would like to provide a workaround. Does anyone have such a workaround already worked out? I can't think of a real easy way to do it so I thought I'd check before running the gauntlet.
