This looks like the quartz backend was disabled in the cairo C library, not like a gtk2hs problem. I don't know how ports work, but
http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/cairo/Portfile
defines a 'quartz' variant that enables that backend. Another idea is to reinstall pango.
I installed Gtk2Hs on a similar machine earlier tonight, with much success, even with Yi. I did not use MacPorts, and instead followed the instructions on the HaskellWiki [1] under "Using the GTK+ OS X Framework" (including compiling pkg-config from src). I'm not sure how having attempted the installation through MacPorts may have littered your system, unfortunately. After that installation has succeeded, compiling Yi normally and running `yi -fpango` to launch the GTK UI should work. Earlier tonight, though, I reported an issue that causes only the first line of any buffer in the Pango Yi UI to be visible [2], which makes this much less useful.
