Hmm, strange -- I just compiled the latest CVS version
with ghc 5.5 with gtk-2.4 on freeBSD without problems. 
(at home I use ghc 6.01 on windows). Arthur showed yesterday that
the latest CVS also works on macOSX

Have you tried to compile the 0.1 version instead of the HEAD version?
Does it give the same problems?
(the building guide shows how to checkout a specific version).

You could try to edit the package file by hand:
1) Edit "config/wxcore.pkg" and add "wx_gtk-2.4" as the first entry
   in the "extra_libraries" value. (now only contains "wxc")
2) run "make install" again.

I hope this helps -- linking errors are terrible! Unfortunately, I am
going away for a week to ICFP/HW/HIM, and our local linux expert, 
Andreas Loeh is also there, so I won't be able to track down your
problem soon. 

However, I think that it is probably a bug in your
configuration and maybe you can fix it yourself (have you run
"ld-config"
to update the search paths?, have you accidently enabled unicode in the
wxWindows compile?, has everything been build from scratch without older
libraries lying around on the PATH? have you run "make install" on
wxGTK?).

All the best,
  Daan.
