Drupal 6 probably won't ever work right on PHP 5.3.0, which is what Snow Leopard packs by default. My feeling is that since Ubuntu LTS still runs PHP 5.2, Drupal 7 won't work at production level on PHP 5.3.0 either. For that reason, here is my PHP 5.2.10 install instructions for Snow Leopard. It will trash your built-in Snow Leopard install.

For my own selfish reasons, in case I want 5.3.0 back later, here is the configuration line from phpinfo() in the default install of 5.3.0 in Snow Leopard.

/var/tmp/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-53~1/php/configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-dependency-tracking --sysconfdir=/private/etc --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-cli --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-libxml-dir=/usr --with-openssl=/usr --with-kerberos=/usr --with-zlib=/usr --enable-bcmath --with-bz2=/usr --enable-calendar --with-curl=/usr --enable-exif --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/BinaryCache/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-53~1/Root/usr/local --with-png-dir=/BinaryCache/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-53~1/Root/usr/local --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-ldap=/usr --with-ldap-sasl=/usr --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex --with-mysql=mysqlnd --with-mysqli=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd --with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql/mysql.sock --with-iodbc=/usr --enable-shmop --with-snmp=/usr --enable-soap --enable-sockets --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --with-xmlrpc --with-iconv-dir=/usr --with-xsl=/usr --with-pcre-regex=/usr

...and to backgrade:

Install the latest JPEG library.Install latest libmcrypt.Install MySQL 5.0.

Yes, I realize the database isn't the latest version, but it meshes with Ubuntu LTS for the moment.

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-cli --with-zlib-dir=/usr --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex --enable-sockets --with-curl=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --sysconfdir=/private/etc --with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysqld.sock --with-pear=/Library/PHP --without-iconv --without-openssl --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-mcrypt --with-xmlrpc --with-bz2 --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-gd --enable-ftp --enable-exif --with-kerberos=/usr --with-iodbc=/usr --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-shmop --enable-soap --enable-sockets --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --with-xsl=/usr

Add -lresolv on EXTRA_LIBS in Makefile, or you'll get an error with dns.o right at the end of the compile.
