PHP Should run on a mac without a problem. If you do have problems, you might to run over to PHPMac.com to see if they have any information for you.
As for configuring MySQL, it should have asked for some things during installation. Like a root password and ports and such. Once that is done, I would download the MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser from the MySQL web site to administer your DB Server until you get phpMyAdmin set up (which comes after PHP).

You are probably not going to need to configure anything for mysql. I would suggest you try connecting to it with the administrator utility.
As for installing PHP from source, you will need to know a little bit about installing software from source in a *nix environment. Unfortunately, I am not that well versed in Unix/Linux to tell you what to do. But I would guess that someone here know how to do it.
