There is:

$ cabal unpack --help
Usage: cabal unpack [FLAGS]
   or: cabal unpack [PACKAGES]

Flags for unpack:
 -h --help         Show this help text
 -v --verbose[=n]  Control verbosity (n is 0--3, default verbosity level is 
1)
 -d --destdir=PATH where to unpack the packages, defaults to the current
                   directory.
