I don't use haskell, but ghc's v6.8.2 ebuild seems to have been silently bumped [1], which changed among other things the dependency on readline to be more lenient upwards. You probably have the old one installed and as the bump is silent, portage doesn't re-emerge ghc automatically.
My suggested fix (hopefully fixes this, but I'm not 100% certain): emerge -1 ghc, so that portage will realize the changes from the silent bump.
