As a proof of concept, here is a set of scripts I used today:
* archhaskellbuild is a customised version of archbuild from devtools
* makechrootpkg-aufs is makechrootpkg using aufs as it did several
months ago, mounting a local repo inside the chroot
* print-cabal-urls.hs is a script printing filenames for latest
versions of packages in Hackage
* batch-cabal2arch downloads the tarballed cabal files from Hackage
and runs cabal2arch on it.
* buildlibs/buildall do a batch compilation of all packages in naive
alphabetical order (buildlibs does only haskell-*)

They can be used to power a buildbot with minimal feature set.
