You can also add the following to your .emacs:

  (add-hook 'inferior-haskell-mode-hook
            (lambda ()
              (set (make-local-variable 'comint-prompt-regexp)
                   "^> ")))

Or some fancier regexp (the default is
"^\\*?[A-Z][\\._a-zA-Z0-9]*\\( \\*?[A-Z][\\._a-zA-Z0-9]*\\)*> ").
