There is always at least one file where c2hs has to parse gtk.h and 
everything included in that header file. This always takes about 250mb of 
real memory so that compiling gtk2hs is only really possible on a machine 
which has 384mb. You may be lucky by changing mk/config.mk. If you have 
time and plenty of swap, you can give a lower -H flag, the same -M flag 
and perhaps set MULTIPLE_CHS to "no". I hope that the latter still works, 
I haven't tested that in a while.

Copying the generated .hs files should be no problem, as long as the 
architecture and the compiler is the same.

Hope this helps,

Axel.
