When I use Windows, there is an all-in-one package called WAMPserver
that pre-configures Apache, MySQL and PHP for use as a simple web
server. I'm looking for something similar for Mac OS X. Alternatively,
is it easy to download all three components seperately and install them
so they work in unison? I don't need anything advanced, just a simple
"just works" web server for testing web pages and some applications.
This won't be public or anything, so no need for port 80 workarounds,
etc.

Apache 1.3.33 and PHP 4.4.4 are preinstalled, so if those versions are
OK with you then you're 2/3 of the way there. You just need to edit
Apache's config file to enable PHP.

MySQL can be downloaded in either source or binary forms from
www.mysql.org.

All three build from source without problems on Mac OS X, if you want to
roll your own (e.g. if you want different versions).
