I stumbled across a gotach while installing mod_fastcgi on MacOs 10.8 (mountain Lion) -- there is a bug in 10.8 in the apache build env which breaks the install instructions here: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/QGIS_Server_Tutorial

The fix is to put a symlink 

 sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.8.xctoolchain

as documented here:

http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/58186/how-to-compile-mod-wsgi-mod-fastcgi-etc-on-mountain-lion-by-fixing-apxserror

It would be good to get this noted in the docs...

Should I open standard bug report or is there a better way to report 'problems' with a document?

If your issue is related to the MacOS version, you could contact William Kyngesburye directly. He is the maintainer of KyngChaos.

Reporting bugs in hub.qgis.org is nethertheless a good choice, helping others with similar problems.

Thanks for the suggestion but it isn't an issue with the packaging but with the tutorial. The instructions as given don't work with current versions of MacOS because of a bug apple introduced with there apache source configuration. The tutorial has a MacOS specific section and that is what I would like to see updated. – Russell Fulton Mar 2 at 22:45
Doh! It's a wiki -- I can put the edits in myself! Silly me. Just doing so and fixing a couple of minor mistakes in the as well. – Russell Fulton Mar 3 at 1:35
