Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Ok, that's fine. But this is not right:

 {{{
 checking for path to top of build tree... dyld: Library not loaded:
 /opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib
   Referenced from:
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_ghc/work
 /ghc-bootstrap/lib/ghc-6.10.1/ghc
 }}}

 It's trying to use ghc 6.10.1 as the bootstrap version. But according to
 the portfile, that version is only used on powerpc. So somehow the
 +darwin_8_powerpc or +darwin_9_powerpc variant is getting selected. So
 that's why the ghc bootstrap you have is for PowerPC, which is why it's
 complaining that it can't use the Intel libgmp.

 Try getting the full debug output, like this:

 {{{
 sudo port clean gmp
 sudo port -d install gmp 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gmp.txt
 }}}

 If it still fails, you can attach gmp.txt from your desktop to this ticket
 to give us more data.
