 Replying to [comment:23 kencu]:

 powerpc darwin, and then was ultimately dumped

 A quick question: can we use a pkg somehow to install within Macports
 ecosystem? There is ghc 7.0.4 in pkg version on Haskell website but no tar
 source. Expanding payload gives GHC.framework. Inside framework there is
 usr folder which contains, apparently, what we would have seen in
 destroot.

 I am not sure how to produce an installable source archive from this. Or
 try to "cheat macports" and jump to destroot stage by modifying
 .macports.ghc.state file?
