I searched the web for a few links on how to enable this, basically what I neded to do was allow this code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase / 

#RewriteRule ^[a-zA-Z0-9/]+$ /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^[^\.]{1,245}$ /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^[^\.]{1,245}/$ /index.php [L]

to be executed as the site is served. This would allow SingleTrack's clean URLs to function under PHP.

I started looked at a lot of posts recommending how to turn on .htaccess (it's off by default in OS X Server leopard as it was in 10.4) and found these:

Finally after messing with the files at the command line level I found this post on Apple's website:
