Check out the MAMP howto in the wiki. You probably forgot to load the  
extra php configuration file into your Apache conf.

Apache is available with three "MPM"s -- multiprocessing modules. The  
default is the "prefork" MPM and is the one you should use if you want  
to use PHP. The Apache documentation goes into more detail about MPMs.

No. mysql5 is the MySQL libraries and programs. mysql5-server is just  
the launchd plist used to start the server.
