This is odd.  What platform (intel/ppc and OS X version) are you  
running on?

A complete log would help too. The output of

	# sudo port -dv destroot ghc > dest.log 2>&1

is good.  You will probably want to compress the log file before  
sending.

One thing you might try is to ensure that you have no failed build  
lying around
by running

	# sudo port clean ghc
	# sudo port install ghc

The combination of ghc Makefiles and MacPorts infrastructure is not  
able to recover
from a failed or interrupted build.  You need to clean up and start  
over.  You should
also clean before recording the log.

Best,
