I do all/most of my development on my MBP. It's running a  
lighttpd/php-fastcgi stack installed via MacPorts. Had no specific  
issues with PEAR.

The only thing I can say that ever gave me a problem (other than the  
annoying case insensitive file system) was that you have to be certain  
to use the *real* file paths when configuring the registry.conf file.  
E.g., /var and /tmp are actually a symlink to /private/var and  
/private/tmp on OS X's filesystem. Be sure to use the /private paths.
