Standalone web server (PHP, MySQL) for Mac

Question

I have to work at client's office on a Mac (I'm a PC user) and I can't install anything.
I need a local web server to develop the app. Is there anything like http://www.server2go-web.de/download/download.html but for a Mac? Just so I can download it unpack it and run to have a standalone, non installbale, local web server (Apache, PHP, MySQL).

Thanks.

It seems you're able to install xampp in a portable manner (go for the drive-less install option), just run the setup script when you've copied the installation to where you want it to be.

I think you said something about this before editing your answer isaacsu.com/wilt/articles/… I used this one and it seems to work without MySQL though :/

Both links are broken now, hence a very useless answer.
