Yeah. you could use mac os x server, or something like servebox or mamp. Then you wold have to port forward port 80 on your router, and then you either need a static ip or dynamic dns.

My method:
Mac OS X Server + Firewall > Static LAN IP
Linksys Router > My machine's LAN IP set in DMZ
Domain name CNAME record > My external IP. Only changes during extended modem reboots, otherwise static
That's it. No fussing with opening/forwarding ports with the router. The Server's firewall is more robust than the router's anyway.
