Where did you get your copy of darwinports? The -v01 bootstrap file  
has been in use
for several months.  And after installing, did you run

     sudo port -d selfupdate

to ensure you had the latest portfiles?

Not surprising, since somehow you got a very outdated port file. Send  
me the portfile
you tried and I'll try to get an idea of what happened.

If you didn't have the Xcode 1.5 tools + updates, building ghc from  
source was
almost certainly bound to fail.
