I was hoping somebody else had a bright idea, but no takers, yet.

I don't remember where I got my GMP.framework from, exactly. I thought it
used to be bundled with the HP. But it's apparently not anymore.

I did some digging and came across the old repository for building Mac
frameworks:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/browser/MacFrameworks?rev=83153fae8bfe23af0bd0bd5a8ea3e2776536a5fe

Perhaps you can use the script that's in there to build GMP.framework.
Alternatively, I can provide you with mine directly.

Regards,
Sean
