ghc is the Haskell compiler. so probably you need it to compile some haskell code source package I guess? (IIRC, `pandoc' would be one example of a widely used tool written in Haskell).

I was running “port selfupdate” and “port upgrade outdated” for the first time

I did not request. Is this part of something else that was added recently that 
is now a dependency of some other port?
