We've got ghc working on ppc-osx and ghc of course works on FreeBSD
(it's in FreeBSD ports) so all it needs is a helper for Gentoo/FreeBSD.
I know you're busy of course but it doesn't need your time specifically,
anyone using Gentoo/FreeBSD could do it. We can walk them through the
process.

We're working on ia64 support. s390 support would be possible if we had
access to the hardware. The only arches we don't have much hope of
supporting are arm, mips and sh. (It works on mips on irix but we have
problems with GOT overflow on mips linux.)
