Comment(by macports at mightyreason.com):

 I also posted this error to glasgow-haskell-users at haskell.org and they
 pointed out a suspiciously similar error in their error tracking system:

 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2380

 So I think the answer may be to use 6.8.3 instead of 6.8.2 as the
 bootstrap compiler.  Note that I already have the macports ghc-6.8.3
 installed.  Is it possible for the 6.10.1 installer to detect this and use
 it instead of its own 6.8.2 binary?

 As for working binaries, the ghc-6.10.1 from

 http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/mac/ghcs which redirects to

 http://www.informatik.uni-
 bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/ghcs/

 is what I am now using until the macports will install.  There is also an
 intel version of the above at

 http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/intel-mac/ghcs which redirects to
