Is there any good documentation for the GHC architecture for someone who is relatively familiar with modern (ML) compiler architecture theory, but not practice? Or should I just start reading the cited papers for STG and the rest of the GHC design?

Volume II of “The Architecture of Open Source Applications” has a good introduction to GHC's architecture:

beautiful :-) didn't know there was a volume 2.

The GHC Commentary contains a wealth of information: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary
