The attached patch is a simplistic, hacky workaround which stubs out the offending configure test. Since ports ghc declares readline as a dependency, this is safe (or at least safe enough). Drop it into / usr/ports/lang/ghc/files and (re)build ghc (either "cd /usr/ports/ lang/ghc; make install clean -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER", or "portupgrade - f ghc", or deinstall and reinstall from scratch). You will probably want to do something to keep it from being removed or to copy it back when you update the ports tree with portsnap or cvsup.
I'm not going to bother reporting this to the port maintainer because it'll just get stuck in the same queue that's holding the ghc-6.6 upgrade. :)
