in regards to lighttpd + fastcgi flavoured php, the biggest gotcha is that ini_set() does nothing.. Many opensource projects put all there settings into the code so the end user (aka installer) doesn't need to find about hard things like whether register_global is on. you need to wrangle your php.ini into the settings that your application needs.
Otherwise, much the same as apache -- though with a completely different configuration syntax. there were a few security updates in a row (coming to me via debian) and i got a bit of pressure to get off this wierd unknown lighttpd thing and back to nice normal apache2, which is a fair argument. But i stuck with it and lighttpd seems to be maturing into a grown up project now.
