Hugs is supported under the darwinports system (similar to FreeBSD's 
ports).
You can get information on it at opendarwin.org/projects/darwinports.

Darwinports builds your software from scratch, so you will need the 
Apple
developer tools installed. These are downloadable at no charge from 
Apple.

Darwinports supports the most recently released versions of hugs, ghc 
and
nhc98. Some of the tools (alex, happy) are supported as well.

The darwinports team is testing against Panther (OS X 10.3) and hope
to have everything building smoothly under both Jaguar and Panther.
We have only a limited number of developer keys, however, so anyone
else with a Panther seed key is encouraged to test!

Best Wishes,
Greg
