I would imagine they are well aware, what with all the changes that have gone in the past few weeks (for backpack support, package db overhauls, etc).
However, I think crux of it (and the real question) isn't are they aware - but "When will there be a Cabal release that supports GHC HEAD, which will become 7.10"? This is a question I'm afraid I cannot answer - Johan does the typical Cabal releases, AFAIK. I've CC'd Duncan and Johan - do either of you have plans for this? Considering we hope the stable freeze will happen soon for 7.10, I imagine Cabal won't be very far behind in this regard, but I'm not sure if there's a plan set down anywhere as to when the next release will happen.
