Sure thing, XAMPP works well for this. It bundles Apache, MySQL, PHP (and Perl) and can work on Windows, Solaris, Mac OSX or Linux.

There's a version here that is optimized for portability on your USB device of choice.

Portable XAMPP

I have been using the Uniform server for some time now. It has a small footprint and works nicely. http://www.uniformserver.com/

Note: I've tried it and it requires you to place it in a directory without spaces, such as `C:\UniServer`. This may or may not offend you.
