Maybe a binary distribution for Mac OS Tiger would be useful.

(I prefer the plain .tar.gz files over .pkg, because they don't require
root rights.) I usually make them using a file mk/build.mk containing:

BIN_DIST=1
Project=Ghc
HADDOCK_DOCS = YES
#XMLDocWays = html

using the commands:

./configure
make
make binary-dist

I can offer binary dists for x68 under Solaris and PPC Mac OS 10.5
(Leopard), the latter depending on:

/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libncurses.5.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib

Cheers Christian
