Would it be an option to just don't generate the GHC docs on i386
but still build a single package (including the haddock binary)?
That would keep things simpler (no multi packages), and we should
still be able to generate haddock-docs for other hs-packages on
i386. It could be done with a pkg/PFRAG.no_i386 listing all the
haddock-generated files and adding a
%%no_i386%%
in main pkg/PLIST.
The build time distinction in the Makefile could than be done with
HADDOCK_DOCS-amd64 = YES
HADDOCK_DOCS-i386 = NO
...
echo HADDOCK_DOCS=${HADDOCK_DOCS-${ARCH}} >> ${WRKSRC}/mk/build.mk
in post-patch.

I'm not sure. IIRC, a couple of years ago, someone mentioed to
prefer looking up documentation locally.
