So I think I finally got Cake working on a Mac.  Here's what I did:
 - reinstall OS X 10.4 & get all updates
 - install MySQL 5 from www.mysql.com
 - install php5 from www.entropy.ch
 - install TinkerTool from http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool.html to
show hidden files (you'll need this to view hidden files otherwise
you'll lose your .htaccess file which is very bad!)
 - download latest CakePHP & extract
 - delete everything in /Library/WebServer/Documents
 - copy all Cake files & folders (app/, cake/, vendors/, index.php,
VERSION.txt, and .htaccess) to /Library/WebServer/Documents
 - edit httpd.conf so it says "AllowOverride ALL" in the DocumentRoot's
<Directory> section
 - recursively allow read & write access to app/tmp folder & all its
subfolders (do this by doing Get Info on tmp folder)
 - http://localhost should now load the Cake welcome page with all its
images & layout
 - the 15 minute blog tutorial (http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/18)
then worked just fine

Hopefully this post can be a reference for others in the future - if
someone wants to steal this text for docs or a wiki, be my guest!
