I recently ran into some problems porting some Haskell code to Windows because it used the Text.Regex library, which is dependent on a Unix-only system.
Text.Regex works fine on Windows, at least on GHC. It seems that Hugs doesn't make it available, perhaps because it requires an auxiliary C regex engine, which we provide as part of GHC. It may be that this code isn't as portable as the rest of Hugs, which is why they don't provide it, but I'll let the Huge folks comment on that.
It looks possible. The only awkwardness I can see is telling the Hugs package converter where to find regex.h
