| PHP, Apache and mysql should be pre-installed.
Place the following in the window location of your browser.
http://localhost/
You should see Apache default page.(If so, it's installed)

Apache is usually preinstalled (it's the default 'personal web server'
in OSX), mysql may be preinstalled but if not, Mark Liyanage's pages
(the link in the quote above) points to all the necessary
components/installation instructions.
For a walkthru on setting up DWMX from scratch with a
OSX/Apache/mySQL/PHP system, you can check out this dev center tutorial
(written for Dreamweaver MX but still valid, IIRC):

Yes- you need to honor the default web server document root directories
unless you hack Apache to look elsewhere for them. You can also use the
/Library/WebServer/Documents directory (the default Apache document root
on OSX) as your local site definition.
HTH!
