The Mac already comes with MySQL installed (and php, perl, python, etc.). You just need to startup MySQL (and enable php in Apache). Follow the standard instructions for first time setup via command line, meaning setting the password and stuff.
If you want to install the very latest version, just download the Mac installer from the MySQL web site. If using PHP4, be careful about the password issue between PHP and MySQL 4.1.
Marc Liyange's website may help you get up to speed on the Mac. http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ This is also a decent site for general MacUnix stuff: http://www.afp548.com/ (548 is the Appletalk protocol port as I recall).
Most people use BBEdit on the Mac for writing code like php, perl, etc. Get yourself a copy if you haven't settled on something else like Eclipse or XCode. If you want a graphical manager for MySQL, there are a bunch of them, look on versiontracker.com or just use phpMyAdmin (or Webmin).

A little off topic, sorry, but I am wondering if anyone has any good Mac Web Dev resourses that i may find useful. Right now I am trying to figure out how to install mySQL to get my local dev setup and any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
