Apple did NOT include the GD library in their latest PHP release for OS X.5 Apparently they had problems compiling in the various library/module support and took the easy way out. GD is the bare minimum required to work with images in the various PHP application. Unfortunately, when scanning through all of the various web sites, there isn't any sure means of building of version of PHP that includes the GD library.

So I have deferred from doing it at this point, and hence am currently foregoing the use of images and the image resizing that the library provides.
