Unfortunately the .DMG based frameworks do not have the cairo svg framework (or the opengl framework), and it's non-trivial to get it added on. If you need it, best bet right now is probably to go for a macports install.

Awesome! I want to try this.

I have problems though installing it on an Intel MacBook running

$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.10.1

$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.6.2
using version 1.6.0.2 of the Cabal library

$ ghc-pkg list gtk
/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/610/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.1/./ package.conf:
   gtk-0.10.0

I have installed gtk2hs using the instructions at

   http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Gtk2Hs#Using_the_GTK.2B_OS_X_Framework

A simple cabal update; cabal install vacuum-cairo gives me:

$ cabal install vacuum-cairo
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure vacuum-cairo-0.3.1. It requires svgcairo -any
There is no available version of svgcairo that satisfies -any

I have installed libsvg-cairo using MacPorts and it seems installed in /opt/local/lib:

$ ls /opt/local/lib/libsvg-cairo.*
/opt/local/lib/libsvg-cairo.1.0.1.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libsvg-cairo.1.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libsvg-cairo.a
/opt/local/lib/libsvg-cairo.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libsvg-cairo.la

But cabal-install still gives the same error. Even with --extra-lib- dirs set:

$ cabal install --extra-lib-dirs=/opt/local/lib/ vacuum-cairo
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure vacuum-cairo-0.3.1. It requires svgcairo -any
There is no available version of svgcairo that satisfies -any

Hence, I downloaded the tarball and tried to use this instead to install vacuum-cairo, which lead to another problem: I cannot install the vacuum package because of a dependencies conflict due to the package ghc-6.10.1 requiring two different versions of process:

$ cabal install vacuum
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: dependencies conflict: ghc-6.10.1 requires process ==1.0.1.1 however process-1.0.1.1 was excluded because ghc-6.10.1 requires process ==1.0.1.0

Funny.

Any ideas on how to get this cool package installed?

Thanks!
Sebastian
