I've done this with LabelTag (http://tinyurl.com/dw0p), originally written by Erik Hatcher. It basically adds a * for required fields, as well as a class="required" to the <label> element. It also shows the text as red (or whatever your label.error CSS class says) when their is a server-side validation error. Works great for me, I've even modified it to show a warning icon when database validation errors occur and are looked up from a database table (custom code that wouldn't apply here).
IMO, there's no reason to have a combined label with a text field (i.e. <html:text property="lastName" label="userForm.lastName"/> since often you'll want to put these in a table in separate <td>'s.
