I don't, but I believe Bjorn does. Here's some stuff from Hope that  
might help.

<standard copyright, author, etc. boilerplate>

Flag bytestring-in-base
Flag split-base

Library
   Build-depends:
     <usual stuff, no base>
   if flag(bytestring-in-base)
     -- bytestring was in base-2.0 and 2.1.1
     Build-depends: base >= 2.0 && < 2.2
   else
     -- in base 1.0 and 3.0 bytestring is a separate package
     Build-depends: base < 2.0 || >= 3, bytestring >= 0.9
   if flag(split-base)
     Build-depends: base >= 3.0, containers, random, directory, old- 
time, old-locale
   else
     Build-depends: base < 3.0
   Exposed-Modules:
     <same old>
   Other-modules:
     <same old>
   Ghc-options: <same old>

If you try it out under whatever GHC you've got, I'll try it out under  
a fairly vanilla GHC 6.6.1 and the latest Cabal. I think everything  
you depend on (except polyparse, what's that?) is in the old "base". I  
will repair it if not.
