Although I hesitate to call it a suggestion, I can tell you what I
did. Basically, I dumped the WP MySQL table to a file, and worked over
the HTML manually (using Emacs macros) to turn them into markdown.
There are probably better ways.

I've thought about WP's raw data processing, but leaving it as last resort.

ATM, I'm a bit busy, but I think I'll try with migration through
planet/RSS engine
similar to this:

I've tried to import my posts using the planet.rb [1] It seems to have problems with <!-- more --!> so it imports incomplete posts through the feed. It also seems to have problems with handling titles, so it generates large number of files with names like "2011-12-17-.markdown". Not to mention it does not seem to handle HTML to Markdown well, so most of my posts consist of HTML copied form original versions in WordPress.

I have just tried to move all my posts (~400) and pages from
Wordpress to Markdown using exitwp [1] and it works well.
The result is impressively good.
I have had to take care of manual intervention wherever I used [text]
or [sourcecode] tags reltaed to syntax highlighting plugin.
So, I think exitwp could be recommend to Hakyll users who want to migrate.

I haven't completed my migration yet and there may be some issues hiding.
So it's not ready to wrap up.
Once it's done, I'll try to describe the procedure.

Any updates? I'd love to be able to do this as well.
I would also love to be able to use HAML[1] and SCSS[2] (oh, how lovely they are!) with Hakyll, but Turbinado[3] hasn't been updated in years ]=
As for Turbinado, I'm not sure I understand. Hakyll generates a
static website that you can then serve using whatever server you like.
I used to use Cherokee, now use nginx, but I don't see any reason why
you couldn't use something like Turbinado or some other Haskell-based
server. That's one of the nice things about Hakyll: it doesn't tie
you to any particular server infrastructure.
Cheers,
Ian.

It took me a while, but I have finally moved my blog to Hakyll [1].
So, I just posted explanation [2] on how I migrated my posts from WordPress to
Markdown in format and structure consumable by Hakyll.
Perhaps it will be helpful for others looking for easy ways to switch to Hakyll.
