Depends on who you ask. I use MacPorts and keep it updated, but
please-root-me (aka Homebrew) is preferred by most people these days. You
will find people arguing that you should use the Platform and people who
insist you should always install just ghc and cabal, or people who insist
you shouldn't ever look beyond Stackage (great if Stackage bothers to
acknowledge that the library you need exists).
