No, it's only in the HEAD, which you may be able to pick up from a development snapshot, or you can build from source. It'll be in 6.2

I'm not certain if the syntax is identical; Ross will know

It's mostly the same -- the big difference is that the higher-order version of a -< e must now be writen as a -<< e. The former needs only Arrow, but a cannot use variables defined inside the proc; the latter needs ArrowApply, but can use any variables. There are some differences in the less frequently used syntax for combining forms. The next release of the preprocessor will support the same syntax as GHC 6.2. The GHC version also does not (yet) support case commands.
