Seems like you miss some basic knowledge about hosting websites... 
Apache is a web server, just like IIS on Windows is (you might have 
heard of it). This is the most common piece of software you find on a 
Linux (or Mac) web server.

With MAMP (I don't think you need to start with MAMP Pro) You do not 
have to bother about how setting MySQL, Apache and PHP, this is done for 
you with that package. Just follow the instructions, put TYPO3 source 
files (I suggest to download and use the introduction package) into MAMP 
home directory, start MAMP with the nice GUI and open your website which 
will be something like http://localhost (there is a button too for that 
in MAMP GUI).

Just follow the instructions and read the MAMP documentation.

Have fun!
