There's a free preference pane for OS X that's floating around  
somewhere that essentially does this:

<IfModule passenger_module>
   NameVirtualHost *:80
   <VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName _default_
   </VirtualHost>
   Include /path/to/passenger_vhosts/*.conf
</IfModule>

The <IfModule> is optional - just protects against idiots like me -  
and then a sample foo.conf would look like ...

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName foo.local
   DocumentRoot "/u/rail_sites/foo/public"
   RailsEnv development
   <directory "/u/rail_sites/foo/public">
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
   </directory>
</VirtualHost>

Adding a vhost just needs an apache reload.
