I'd start by examining the logs.

/opt/local/apache2/logs/error_log
/var/log/system.log

MySQL doesn't seem to write a log by default; you'd have to make a  
file /etc/my.cnf and tell it where you'd like the logs to go. Then  
you can restart and see if anything interesting appears in them.

There are ways to configure Apache and MySQL to respond only on  
certain IP addresses, but you'd almost certainly know if you'd  
configured theme that way.
