Ben Bleikamp has put up a how-to guide on setting WordPress up locally on your Mac OS X machine using a one-click install package called MAMP, or Mac + Apache + mySQL, and PHP.
Here is the point form version. He goes through each of these steps with a bit more description, but overall, it is relatively simple to do.
1. Load up the MAMP application, start Apache and MySQL.
2. Point your browser to: http://localhost:8888/MAMP/ and you’ll find yourself at the MAMP homepage.
3. Create a database.
4. Unpack your WordPress download to to ../mamp/htdocs/wordpress/.
5. Load wp-config-sample.php into your favorite text editor.
6. Run the idiot-proof WordPress 5 minute install (it should take about 30 seconds).
There are similar tools for Windows that allows you to set up Windows to run a web server. I’d recommend one, but I have yet to do it. So if you know any good, quick, simple Windows based one click installs of Apache, mySQL and PHP, please let me know in the comments.
I recently used instructions from UrbanGiraffe for installing WordPress on Windows using WAMP. It works great!
Yes, there’s also a WAMP.

I use Wamp (Apache/PHP/mySQL) to run a local WordPress installation on Windows. Works like a dream.
As a developer and designer, I utilize MAMP on my Macbook. When I flew to Japan for a holiday I was able to develop a few plugins and themes just from my mock blog I have setup. Plus having a blog handy 24×7 is nice, with or without internet. I utilize it as my personal journal as well.
and a short german version od “how to” is available here:
