I think it is fine to add both links. For Haskell packages, people do publish only the binary link (see http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bzlib for example). But what does user expect to see is a non-trivial question. NixOS is relatively modern distribution and IMHO site doesn't represent the best way of installing packages: experienced user would not go for "one-click install" link on the site, but rather type 'nix-env -i <package>' to automatically select the binary (or build it from source if there is no binary in cache) and install it.
