I created the split ports [1] for darcs. It seems to be nice:
devel/darcs is just a slave port of devel/hs-darcs, while hs-darcs
depends on darcs. The price is that we need to build darcs twice when
installing hs-darcs (which is reasonable since we use the very same
sources to build an executable and a library). I also need to face
another problem (which is solved but I am not sure about its
correctness): We should take care of the possibility of name clashes in
${PREFIX}/share, so I prefixed it with "hs-" for hs-darcs (but not for
darcs). I would do the same for all the other Cabal ports.
I needed to improve "bsd.cabal.mk" to support all the stuff, but is okay
(but not tested exhaustively). I would also like to add the end-user
documentation to devel/darcs, since it is missing from the Cabalized
version at the moment.

The next step is xmonad :) I am quite optimistic.
