Answers below.  BTW -- does monit not want to run as root?  I changed to a 
regular users (I was suing sudo) and it seems to run fine (except it can't 
reboot some services because it needs to be root...)

It is super simple (just trying to get it work..this config works on os x)

set daemon 120 # Poll at 2-minute intervals
set logfile syslog
set httpd port 2812 and use  address localhost
        allow localhost

Got this:

monit: Debug: Adding host allow 'localhost' (127.0.0.1).
Runtime constants:
 Control file       = /var/sl/monitrc
 Log file           = syslog
 Pid file           = /var/run/monit.pid
 Debug              = True
 Log                = True
 Use syslog         = True
 Is Daemon          = True
 Use process engine = True
 Poll time          = 120 seconds
 Mail server(s)     = localhost
 Mail from          = (not defined)
 Mail subject       = (not defined)
 Mail message       = (not defined)
 Start monit httpd  = True
 httpd bind address = localhost
 httpd portnumber   = 2812
 httpd signature    = True
 Use ssl encryption = False
 httpd auth. style  = Host/Net allow list

The service list contains the following entries:

System Name           = t1.schoolloop.com
 Monitoring mode      = active
