Well, I think there are also some glitches left in the Makefile you 
published so I would clean them up before committing (and bootstrap 
filenames needed to be changed as well, but it is okay).  For example 
(around line 248):


246:         @${ECHO} >> ${WRKSRC}/mk/build.mk 
"EXTRA_CABAL_CONFIGURE_FLAGS += --extra-lib-dirs=${LOCALBASE}/lib"
247:         @${ECHO} >> ${WRKSRC}/mk/build.mk "BIN_DIST_NAME = 
ghc-\$$(ProjectVersion)-boot"
248:         @${ECHO} >> ${WRKSRC}/mk/build.mk "BIN_DIST_TAR  = 
ghc-\$$(ProjectVersion)-amd64-ash0-freebsd8-boot.tar"
249:         -@${RM} ${BOOT_DIR}/mk/build.mk
250:
251: #post-build:
252: #       @(cd ${WRKSRC} && ${GMAKE} binary-dist)
253: #
254: #do-install:
255: #       @${NONE}


Frankly, satisfying the needs of a Tinderbox is PITA sometimes but it 
has been worth so far.  And it is lot smaller PITA than having 
complaints after things have been committed to the tree.

Anyway, until we are ready, everybody can use the "unofficial" port and 
bootstraps at one's own risk.  It builds fine most of the time but there 
might be problems.


Cheers,
