When trying to build hs-ghc-paths 0.1.0.5, I get the following error.

sudo port -v install hs-ghc-paths

I have ghc @6.8.3_1+darwin_9_i386 installed so I know it should be able to find ghc. Is there another dependency that isn't listed?

Yes, I was just about to submit a bug report about this. If you install the 'hs-libcabal' port first, hs-ghc-paths will build. The error message refers to a package that is found within cabal.

[dbueno@…]

The Portfile should have the libcabal dependency added, as shown

I updated hs-ghc-paths to 0.1.0.6, and I don't have any trouble building it, even when hs-libcabal is not installed. Can you confirm whether you still see the problem after selfupdating and upgrading all outdated ports?

No response; assuming fixed as per comment:4.
