Beginning steps:
copy /etc/php.ini.default to /etc/php.ini
edit/set the time zone in the php.ini file.
enable OSX web sharing (turns on apache2)
follow the yii guide installation instructions (pdf in the -docs package)
install yiiframework somewhere in ~/Sites
instructions to compile a compatible libmcrypt into the stock apache2:

visit
http://127.0.0.1/~username/yii/requirements/index.php
profit!
update: we might just want to recompile:
http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/php-on-os-x.html ::
These installation instructions will compile PHP with a configuration that closely matches the PHP configuration shipped with OS X, but with the addition of enabling GD, PDO and MCRYPT support.
but we wound up not using these explicit instructions, and macports just worked.
apple's php534 was configured with:
| '/var/tmp/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-53.4~2/php/configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--disable-dependency-tracking' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--enable-cli' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-kerberos=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2=/usr' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl=/usr' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/BinaryCache/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-53.4~2/Root/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/BinaryCache/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-53.4~2/Root/usr/local' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ldap=/usr' '--with-ldap-sasl=/usr' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mysql=mysqlnd' '--with-mysqli=mysqlnd' '--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-iodbc=/usr' '--enable-shmop' '--with-snmp=/usr' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-wddx' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-iconv-dir=/usr' '--with-xsl=/usr' '--enable-zend-multibyte' '--enable-zip' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' |

except -- at this point -- it would seem silly to try and recompile an "apple-like" php5
why not just use macports:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3484306/setting-up-postgresql-to-work-with-my-local-dev
and
http://laurii.info/2010/08/macports-berkley-db-4-problem-and-work-around/
which had the command:
sudo port install apache2 postgresql83 php+postgresql83+mysql5+pear+apache2
but didn't work exactly -- we found out later.
and with only a tiny bit of cruft (need to add local machine name to /etc/hosts as a loopback ip)
http://old.nabble.com/Localhost-down-%7C-MacPorts-LAMP-td27733679.html
using instructions at
http://www.mkbernier.com/2010/09/28/installing-macports-php-mysql-pear-and-phpunit-on-mac-osx-snow-leopard/
we recompiled php5 with additional flags, and followed their config changes.
sudo port install php5 +apache2
sudo port install php5-sqlite php5-gd php5-mcrypt
fairly good looking success now:
