While there is not a .dmg for Gtk2Hs, you can use a .dmg installed GHC
with a .dmg installed Gtk, and then build gtk2hs straight on top of
that, without having to deal with the dual-GHC macports mess..

cabal-install works for me. The one thing that would be REALLY REALLY
nice (and I'm cc-ing Duncan on this) is a .dmg for Gtk2Hs on Mac OS X.
There exists a ports build for it, but it won't use the GHC that is
installed via .dmg to build it - it insists instead on installing ghc
again via ports, which I find both odd and undesirable. It really
comes down to the fact that gtk2hs is the only thing in the
haskellverse that requires ports to get compiled in an intuitive way.

Hope that helps.
This is very useful.
Could the Mac users add information (and screenshots?) to the OSX
wiki
page,
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/OSX
I'm not really sure there's much to add. It mostly just works™.
Is there something that can be extracted from this discussion to
add
to
it?
Imagine you're new to Haskell, or the Mac. What do you need to
know to
get started developing new Haskell software? Is that information on
the
page?
Thankfully, yes, all you need to know are either (a) go to
haskell.org
and download it, or (b) download macports, and port install ghc...
Now
you've got a Haskell environment like any other.
I guess I could add a chunk of text about good editors, but I'm
not sure
if that's suitable, is it?
Yes, anything that is relevant to the development experience on this
platform. Remember: it is more than just getting ghc. How do they get
hold of new libraries and apps? Is cabal-install available?
