Getting packages into arch-haskell just requires someone to put in the time and maintenance effort. There's a section at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Haskell_package_guidelines on improving Arch Haskell. If you get familiar with cblrepo and start a haskell-snap repository, that would be the first step towards getting Snap into arch-haskell. You might want to build on Nicola's haskell-happstack repository (in case many of the dependencies are shared), or at least use it for inspiration.
