Looks like theres a problem with the port, from the latest PortIndex mailing

Total number of ports parsed:	4543
Ports successfully parsed:	4542	
Ports failed:			1

Failed to parse file lang/ghc/Portfile: Error evaluating variants

So you've got somthing wrong with the variants, I guess its:

variant no_opengl       { configure.args-append --disable-opengl
                          configure.args-append --disable-glut
}

which should be:

variant no_opengl       {
  configure.args-append --disable-opengl
  configure.args-append --disable-glut
}

lint also gives a lot of warnings:
