I think this should work (unregisterised):

wget ftp://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pub/debian-amd64/pure64/pool/main/g/ghc6/ghc6_6.2.1-2_amd64.deb
ar -x ghc6_6.2.1-2_amd64.deb
tar -zxf data.tar.gz
ln -s ghc6 usr/bin/ghc
ln -s ghci6 usr/bin/ghci
perl -pi -e "s#/usr#`pwd`/usr#" usr/bin/{ghc,ghci}

$ file usr/lib/ghc-6.2.1/ghc-6.2.1
usr/lib/ghc-6.2.1/ghc-6.2.1: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

I haven't been able to test it myself, but someone on IRC successfully
compiled and ran hello world (installing the Debs on a Debian system).

I didn't build the binaries, but AFAIK nothing special was done.
Roughly:

echo "GhcUnregisterised=YES" > mk/build.mk
echo "SplitObjs=NO" >> mk/build.mk
./configure
make
make install


Hope that's of some help
