My installation instructions for some scripts says that I do.
No, you do not need to have directories set to 777 nor files set to 666/777, even if your installation documents tell you that you do. Permissions of 755 for folders and 644 for .php files will work in the same way - Scripts owned by your account user UID/GID will be able to write to your files, the same way that they can running under apache with 666/777 permissions.
If you have php applications/scripts that have directories set to 777, (required to write to them under php/apache module), they would need to be changed - Also you would need to change ownerships of all files owned by user "nobody" to the user name UID/GID for your account. In most cases the UID/GID is account/account instead of nobody/account or nobody/nobody.
