That is great - I've played with haskell ports a bit when I was porting raincat game ([1]) and had to do hs-sdl, hs-sdl_mixer and hs-sdl_image ports (can be found at [2]) as well (however the game stopped working after some haskell port update, so I've kinda put it on hold). Back then it really felt like bsd.haskell.mk that does all the common stuff for cabal ports would be pretty nice thing, however as nice as it is to name haskell ports in a consistent manner, overkill is not a good thing as well, so I believe that end-user ports should be named in such a way thay users (not even knowing of cabal or other under-the-hood details) can find them quickly. Similar thing happens with python: there are 934 ports that use PYDISTUTILS (thus install python modules), however only 630 of them have py- prefix. Also, I've just noticed that you've just remved ports at old locations and created them at a new ones, while you should'be requested a repocopy to not lose all the history. Thus I would really suggest to back this commit out and retry with proper repocopies and without adding prefixes to end-user ports; after looking it through more carefully, I thinkg that those are basically ports that haven't had hs- suffixes before, namely darcs, porte, pandoc, xmobar, xmonad and xmonad-contrib.
