Though it is not a general solution, have you tried developing in a
"minimal Haskell installation" (just GHC, Cabal, and packages required by
those)?  The OpenGL-related packages would not be already installed in
that case, so you would not need to worry about hiding them.  You could
then test against Haskell Platform separately.
