One way could be to use an automatic cabal flag.  With it enabled,
depend on integer-gmp and add hs-source-dirs to a directory containing
your integer-gmp implementation, with it disabled, depend on
integer-simple and add hs-source dirs to a directory containing your
integer-simple implementation.  This gives module-level control.  With
automatic flag I think cabal will try both and choose the setting that
gives the best build plan (likely corresponding to the Integer
implementation of your ghc).
