If you have default MAMP installation you can go to phpinfo from MAMP start page by clicking phpinfo tab on top. In phpinfo page you can find if mod_rewrite have been loaded. Just click Cmd + f (on Mac) and type mod_rewrite. It should be in "Loaded Modules" section.

Now you should setup your VirtualHost. Open /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf and add this to end of this file:

    ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost
    DocumentRoot /absolute/path/to/your/projects/zf2-tutorial/public
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    

Now add this line

127.0.0.1               zf2-tutorial.localhost localhost

to your /private/etc/hosts file.

Restart MAMP.

After going to http://zf2-tutorial.localhost:8888/ you should see "Welcome to Zend Framework 2" start page. After going to http://zf2-tutorial.localhost:8888/1234 you should see 404 ZF2 page the content of this page should be something like that:

If you see something like that everything is perfectly normal. It means that your mod_rewrite is working and you have been redirected to 404 ZF2 page insted of default apache "Not Found" page like that
