Comment (by duncan):

 As I understand, the GHC developers did not provide an initial binary for
 x86 FreeBSD either.

 So yes, you'll need to ask the Haskell FreeBSD ports maintainers to
 bootstrap from sources.

 This should be fairly straightforward as they'd only be porting from x86
 FreeBSD (or x86-64 Linux) to x86-64 FreeBSD.

 There are detailed instructions for porting here:
