Nope. I configured it fairly quickly, and although I'd recommend an integrated package such as XAMPP if you are a noob, it's far more flexible, less bloated, and more configurable to your needs if you just get Apache, PHP and MySQL individually - plus you can use the versions of each that you want (e.g. you may prefer PHP4 over PHP5, and XAMPP may only be offering a version with PHP5).

Aside from that, I'd recommend lighttpd over Apache any day, just as long as you don't need to use Apache features such as .htaccess or .htpasswd files, as these are done differently in lighttpd.
