The libHShat.a library ends up in
    $DESTDIR$PREFIX/lib/hat-$HATVERSION/$MACHINE/ghc-$GHCSYM
which should resolve in your case to
    /usr/local/lib/hat-2.05/x86-darwin/ghc-6.6/
and the interface files should go in
    $DESTDIR$PREFIX/imports/hat-$HATVERSION/ghc-$GHCSYM
which again should resolve to
    /usr/local/imports/hat-2.05/ghc-6.6

These locations are then written into the hat-package.conf file, and
ghc-pkg register is called using that file as input.  I'm not sure how
it can go wrong, unless for some reason your version of GHC is being
detected wrongly as < 6.4.
