What do you mean by "independent screens"?  Are you talking about
XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens or your physical monitors?

As long as the X11 Haskell module was compiled with Xinerama support
then multiple monitor support works out of the box.  The default
behavior is to allow each monitor to display a workspace independent of
what the other monitors are displaying.

XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens allows you to change that behavior to
match that of dwm's.

As for three copies of xmobar, I believe you just need three
configuration files specifying where each bar should be displayed and
then start three copies.
