Yes, this a response to an old thread, but oh well.

I got RT 3.4.x working on OSX 10.4.1 a week or so ago, and everything 
seems to work just fine.

The system Perl seems to be stock 5.8.6; if you want, I can post the 
output of `perl -V` for build details, but in any case it worked fine.

Apache is 1.3.33; the $ENV{SERVER_SOFTWARE} on mine gives

     Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/4.3.11 mod_perl/1.29 mod_ssl/2.8.22 
OpenSSL/0.9.7b

All of these components are stock; all of them appear to work fine.

(Compare to OSX 10.3, where the stock mod_perl didn't correctly bind 
output to the web server, so pages would "work" but would send no output 
back to clients unless you configured mod_perl to do so with a --

     tie *STDOUT, 'Apache';

-- in httpd.conf or startup.pl. This isn't a problem in 10.4.)

So, RT and its prerequisites all seem to build, install, and run just 
fine on OSX 10.4.x client, and so also should on 10.4.x server.
