This isn't pandoc specific -- your install is failing on other packages.
I notice you're running OSX 10.6.  Looks like you're running into this bug:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3400

Somebody was able to get pandoc installed on OSX 10.6, though: I'd suggest 
following 
his instructions carefully:
