Apple's php build is passable if not spartan. Though building php on OSX 
is supported as of 4.2.x, so you can always grab the current source 
tarball and make your own.. it's easy :)

You might also want to turn on php in OSX's httpd.conf file, as it's off 
be default which is probably where mark's problem lies :)

# From a 10.2 client...
[nathan@puma Users]$ grep php /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
#LoadModule php4_module        libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
#AddModule mod_php4.c

Be sure to add AddHandler handlers as well
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml .php4
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
