How else? ;-)

Thanks,

is there any way to assign a type signature to the helper function?

Same way you do for a top level binding:
dec2bin :: Integer -> [Integer]
dec2bin n = dec2bin' n []
            where dec2bin' :: Integer -> [Integer] -> [Integer]
                  dec2bin' n acc
                    | n == 0 = acc
                    | otherwise = let r = rem n 2
                                      m = div (n - r) 2
                                  in dec2bin' m (r : acc)
