It looks as if it's automated for Arch, however. Either that or somebody is spending an absurd amount of time keeping it manually up to date.

It probably is automated. There's a tool out there called "cabal2arch", which turns a cabal file into a PKGBUILD file. They are similar enough that translation can be done automatically, assuming there aren't any special needs. (For example, I doubt the gtk2 haskell package would work with cabal2arch)
