Personally, I'd like to use the macports version, if the ghc version there was resonably recent (having 2 versions, a stable and an edge could be a good idea?)

You could use Homebrew instead. That has a fairly up-to-date version of GHC and the Haskell Platform.

http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

On http://wiki.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/installation it says: delete /usr/local/include and/usr/local/lib So its not for those that also installs standard distributions, it seems. But what's wrong with the binaries listed here: http://haskell.org/ghc/ Fairly easy to install.
