If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/mapserver
%  sudo port install mapserver

--->  Verifying checksum for mapserver
--->  Extracting mapserver
--->  Configuring mapserver
--->  Building mapserver with target all

--->  Staging mapserver into destroot

--->  Installing mapserver

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using mapserver with these commands:

%  man mapserver
%  apropos mapserver
