There's a FreeBSD binary dist, for 4.4-STABLE, here:

=09
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/5.02/ghc-5.02-i386-unknown-freebsd.tar.g
z

This is just a standard .tar.gz binary dist, not a package, for now.=20

I'm currently updating the port for 5.02, but I think this time I'm
going to make it bootstrap from the pre-built binary distribution rather
than from HC files.  The HC file route is too error-prone (and it takes
longer, too).  I checked the other ports, and it seems this is the way
they do the GNAT port too.

Cheers,
