It's fully supported in ghc-3.03 (x86 only), should you want to
experiment, but with the odd glitch (or two, right Sven? ;-)
Fixing these probs. (and fully supporting the FFI under
ghc-4.00) is high on my list of things to do.
If you snaffle the most recent Green Card sources from the Glasgow
CVS repository, it should now also capable of generating code for
this FFI (Bug reports to the contrary are actively solicited :-)

Shouldn't be long - the harder case of creating COM components
in Haskell is now working.
