In linux I use darcs it's written in haskell. I tried once or twice to
look into
ghc source and try to get it running under plan9 so I can run darcs but
failed.
I dont have much experience with haskell except for darcs.
Maybe someone with more knowledge with haskell can take a look.
There's an old port of hugs at
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/hugs/
It might do, or not.
At any rate, hugs looks a bit friendlier to port than ghc.
