You can try macports, fink or homebrew to install it, all of them will 
compile the whole shebang on your machine, but the MAMP bundle that you 
downloaded already has a standard apache, mysql and php.

You should be able to edit the ports by clicking on MAMP.app 
Preferences... Ports and changing apache to 80 and mysql to 3306. You 
can also just edit the conf files in /Applications/MAMP/conf.

You can start and stop mysql and apache from the command line with:
sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh etc.
