Debian has had a working amd64 package of ghc for some time now.  It is built
out of the standard source base for it.  You can find that at:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/ghc6

You'll want to grab the orig.tar.gz and the diff.gz files.

If you want to grab an amd64 .deb to try, go to:

http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64/pool/unstable/main/amd64/g/ghc6/

Even if you're not running Debian, there are tools available to convert a .deb
to a RPM or tgz package.  Or, you can easily unpack a deb using only ar(1) and
tar(1).
