There appears to be no interface in Haskell to ftruncate(2). (Or, for that matter, the less-useful truncate(2)).
There are System.Posix.setFileSize and System.Posix.setFdSize, which are direct interfaces to truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) respectively. However, perhaps you want something more portable. I seem to recall there was a proposal to add hSetFileSize at one point... ah yes: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2002-January/008677.html unfortunately we never followed up on that promise :-) Looks like it shouldn't be too hard - on Windows there's no truncate(), but there is SetEndOfFile() instead.
