Comment (by kencu):

 when I do this for 10.6.8, I don’t use MacPorts.

 I tried doing what you are thinking of, and I think it worked for one
 upgrade, but then I got stuck.

 It’s too hard…too many tweaks in the portfiles and portgroups to work
 around.

 I have a folder for ghc on 10.6.8 stuff, and just build new versions in
 there.

 if you look, Ben Ghamari, the big guru for ghc, has a script he uses to
 build all the releases.

 I edited that script to get going.

 Later on I’ll see if I can find that for you.
