I haven’t seen anything that can generate migrations based on UML  
model changes, but that’d sure be cool! It looks like there’s an  
effort over on the ArgoUML project to get Ruby code generation going.  
Haven’t tried it myself though…

I remember seeing an effort at RubyForge where models are diagrammed  
using the ImageMagick library. Haven’t tried it yet, but it might be  
good for post production documentation.
