I'd skip the whole Xampp part.. Leopard comes with Rails and Apache already, though you'll need to update Rails. You should only need to do:

sudo gem update --system sudo gem update rails

Turn on Websharing and you should be good to go. the Rails wiki shows how to use Xampp's MySQL socket http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/XAMPP+integration

Hope that helps
