I've personally installed MediaWiki on Mac OS X and it can be got to run with quite moderate effort and even with a limited skillset (such as mine). There is a decent walkthrough at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_MediaWiki_on_Mac_OS_X . However: I am not so sure how complete it is in terms of the "securing Apache" section -- I personally haven't yet figured that one out. So you want some old pro to check things in terms of security. (That actually goes for installs on all OSes.) Neither have I gotten URL rewriting to work. So Mac OS X is not perfect either.
In what way does it not work?
(I do most of my MediaWiki development on Mac OS X, so I have some interest in it working smoothly. ;)
