I have just gone through a similar exercise on both my Macs (desktop G5,
10.4.7, iBook G4, 10.3.9).  Each also has different versions of gcc
(4.0.1 and 3.3).

I don't know whether there were specific issues with ghc-6.4.2 on the
Mac, but certainly the current darcs version (or ghc-6.6 branch)
compiled without significant problems for me, on both machines.  (One
simple mistake was to fail to 'make distclean' before rebuilding.)

On my iBook G4 it took only 2.5 hours.  I followed the guide in the
HACKING file to ensure that it was as fast as possible, by avoiding to
build profiling libs etc.
