MAMP is good, MAMP PRO is better and will give you all you need for quite a while.
However, if you really start getting into dev heavily, I am afraid Mitch is right about MacPorts. After weeks of struggling and months of installing "just one" app from source to do something, I am breezing through the reinstall setup I was dreading using MacPorts. If you find yourself compiling something from source, it's time to look into MacPorts. If your just doing MySQL/PHP MAMP is a solid solution.
