 You should be able to do it like this:
 
   - You need to have GHC installed first (maybe use compat4x to
     get the port to build, or install compat4x and the 4.x package).
 
   - Grab the GHC source dist, unpack it,
 
   - create the file mk/build.mk with the single line "BIN_DIST=3D1".
 
   - ./configure && gmake && gmake binary-dist
 
   - if everything went well, you should have a directory ghc-5.02.2
     hanging off the top level of the source tree, containing=20
     a "binary distribution" ready for packing.  Delete everything
     that isn't also in the contents of=20
 =09
 		ghc-5.02.2-i386-unknown-freebsd-boot.tar.gz
 
     and pack it up.
 
   - you're done.  Send me (a link to) the package and I'll put it
     on haskell.org, maybe call it ...-freebsd5-boot.tar.gz.
 
   - fix the lang/ghc port to select the right bootstrap distribution
     depending on the host OS version.
 
 Hope I haven't forgotten anything!  Let me know if it doesn't go
 according to plan.
 
 Cheers,
 	Simon
