Without doing any investigation, I'll say that i recently installed darcs and
ghc on a 5.3 system without difficulties, so it seems weird that it would be
disabled.

However it *WAS* a problem trying to get it to install on 5.2 due to the
ghc bootstrap binary depending on a version of a library that is not in
5.2. Either something has happened which means ghc is no longer working, or
perhaps it was incorrectly marked as broken due to the issue on versions below 
5.3?

Though - I just noticed you are installing 6.2.1. 6.2.2 is the one I have 
installed.
Have you tried updating your ports tree? Perhaps the issue, whatever it is, is 
fixed
in 6.2.2.
