Comment(by gwright@…):

 This can't be done with the current 6.10.4 port, because of the
 requirement for some external libraries.  However, the underlying linker
 bug which has prevented building 6.12.x on Snow Leopard is finally fixed,
 so a statically linked binary can now be built.

 This won't happen overnight, since there is still the issue of forcing a
 32 bit build on 64 bit Snow Leopard.  We need this for platforms (e.g.,
 older MacBooks) that don't support 64 bit.  A universal build is also
 possible, but this has only just become possible and isn't well tested.

 This will eventually get done, but after the binary ghc platform
 installer, which will be my next project after getting the upcoming 7.0.1
 built.
