On a fresh install from scratch today I got the same problem, and was able to resolve it by first installing yesod-platform and then after that the few additional dependencies.  I can't wait until stackage (http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2012/11/solving-cabal-hell) is functional, hackage can be great for weeks and then on some random day have dependency problems.  Looks like the github project is active https://github.com/fpco/stackage so hopefully it will be soon.  In any case, I don't think the "--only-dependencies" flag works very well, so "cabal install yesod-platform" lets cabal figure out better what to install.

How I got it to work is

rm -r ~/.ghc ~/.cabal
cabal update
cabal install yesod-platform
cd path/to/notmuch-web
cabal install --only-dependencies
yesod devel

As a side note, I plan on creating some binaries and marking the first release later today.  Also, if I put it on hackage it should be "cabal install notmuch-web", and then cabal seems to be better at figuring out what to do.
