After exchanging posts with you I surfed the web a bit, and came to the conclusion that architecture is something of a problem for quite a few OS X users of ghc. Is that fair to say?
Yes. For a long time there wasn't a 64-bit GHC at all, and it still throws a number of warnings and occasional other fits (especially on Lion where Apple changed the linker yet again, but you're on SL so that at least shouldn't matter). Also, the HP stuff doesn't play along with MacPorts very well, and MacPorts' own HP is even older than Debian stable.
