Here is info about ghc:

A bit out of date:

MigMit:~ MigMit$ port info ghc
ghc @6.10.1, Revision 8 (lang, haskell)
...blah-blah...

Maybe, your $(port version)

You mean 'port version' (or 'echo $(port version)') :-).

is still 1.600?

That is right. One should from time-to-time run
  sudo port -d selfupdate
I do not have the ports version of GHC installed. So the version of 'port' itself may affect the info about packages, too, it seems.

In addition, one may have to download a new copy from the site. This happened when I made a new system installation (though restore from the Time Machine backup worked fine).

Also, updating may break some code - libraries are dynamically linked. I used this for a compile of Scala (in Ada) which links to the MacPorts Gtk+ libraries. And now you tricked me to update - let's see if it breaks.
