Install Haskel Platform from http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html. The version provided by Macports is too old to work with current versions of git-annex. Then execute

sudo port install git-core ossp-uuid md5sha1sum coreutils pcre

sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/pcre.h  /usr/include/pcre.h # This is hack that allows pcre-light to find pcre

# optional: this will enable the gnu tools, (to give sha224sum etc..., it does not override the BSD userland)
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/libexec/gnubin

sudo cabal update
sudo cabal install git-annex

You can also use Homebrew instead of MacPorts. Homebrew's haskell-platform is up-to-date, too:

brew install haskell-platform git ossp-uuid md5sha1sum coreutils pcre
ln -s /usr/local/include/pcre.h /usr/include/pcre.h

As of this writing, however, Homebrew's md5sha1sum has a broken mirror. I wound up getting that from MacPorts anyway.
