Is there an free alternative to MAMP PRO?

NetBeans is recommending to use MAMP for Apache + MySQL + PHP on the Mac. There's a MAMP and a MAMP PRO. The MAMP is actually nothing more than a collection of open source libraries and stuff like PHP, MySQL, etc. in one big directory that goes to /Application/MAMP/. It comes with a little GUI to start/stop the server and to do some very basic settings. However, it is extremely limited. There's a MAMP PRO which does some more things but costs like $65. As I'm not making any money with my web dev I look for free solutions.

So is there something else that's open source / free, which does the same thing like MAMP Pro? starting / stopping PHP / Apache / MySQL on the Mac, configuring hosts, ports, etc.?

There is a solid, open source, alternative to MAMP called MNPP. It has everything MAMP has, but updated.

Edit: 7 years later the project looks to be abandoned and the main domain is gone. The repo is still around but hasn't been updated in ages, so I would not recommend using it. For reference here's the repo url: https://github.com/jyr/MNPP
