After I upgraded dev-lang/ghc to higher version(6.10.4) I run /usr/sbin/haskell-updater --upgrade Haskel updater fails with error: { ...

The haskel updater update fails on package: dev-haskell/iconv-0.4 ( build log relativ to that package)

This isn't a haskell-updater problem (haskell-updater just calls your package manager, just like python-updater). Rather, this indicates that iconv doesn't work by default with ghc-6.10.*. dev-haskell/iconv-0.4.0.2 in the overlay has the fix for this; it just needs to be put into the tree.
Ivan, thanks for explanation. OK it is necessary to wait.
Bumped. Thanks for the report! Reopen if it doesn't solve your problem.
