MAMP setup with Macports?

[Thomas Allen]

I'm trying to setup a local MAMP server using Macports, and all I'm
running into are problems. MySQL (4) can't connect, http://localhost/
is DOA, and I have no real way to test my PHP installation. I'd like
to have the following setup:

MySQL 5, PHP 5, Apache 2

I suspect that my main problem is daemons for these services not
starting. Anyway, I really put my faith in Macports here, and it would
mean a lot if someone could lend a hand.
