    Yes you can. If i'm not mistaken macs run on a file structure strikingly similar (if not identical) to linux. So yes it is possible. You're going to need to install apache, and of course PHP. :)

    In fact: apache might already be installed :) But in either case, here is a good little tutorial to help you out: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/07/apache.html
