Here's a patch.  Do let us know if you encounter any further problems
with building nhc98 under MacOS X.  We like to support as many
platforms as possible.

I believe ghc has been ported to MacOS X.  Look for instance at
    http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_500.html
(The latest version available seems to be 5.00.2, rather than 5.02.1)
