The GUI is native, not the library; wxHaskell has a native look and feel  
on each platform, see:
   http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/samples.html

An extensive comparison is given at:
   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/553317/what-are-the-relative-merits-of-wxhaskell-and-gtk2hs#601996
wxHaskell is not easy to install in a Windows environment; that is one of  
the things that needs work.
I don't know if Pango can be embedded.
