For what it's worth, I'm still using wxHaskell on MacOS X (also Snow
Leopoard)

The tricky bits are that you have to

1. install wxWidgets by hand, being sure to enable Unicode
   and to compile a 32 bit version:
  
   arch_flags="-arch i386"
   ./configure CFLAGS="$arch_flags"\
               CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"\
               CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags"\
               LDFLAGS="$arch_flags"\
               OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags"\
               OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags"\
               --enable-unicode

2. do the Rez and app bundle magic which is now handily
   encapsulated in the cabal-macosx package on hackage

I also have patches to make it work with the latest Haskell Platform
and will put them on Hackage shortly assuming nobody objects

Unfortunately, this does not address Conal's issue about using wxHaskell
with GHCi on Mac.  I do wish somebody had a free week to concentrate on
the issue.  Maintainer Jeremy made some progress on it, the last time I
checked...
