So the following nesting of tags looks correct:

  LAYER
    NAME 'GPS'
    TYPE POINT
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION 
'/Applications/MAMP/d/DATA/NonGrassFiles/GPX/gpsbabel_output.gpx'
    DATA 'waypoints'
    STATUS ON
    DEBUG 5
    CLASS
      STYLE
        SYMBOL 'CIRCLE'
        SIZE 3
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
        COLOR 106 7 182
      END
    END
  END

I a can't help you a lot with the the OGR connection, as I don't use it 
that often.

Are sure that DATA 'waypoints' is correct?

You might try at the command line, something like:

ogrinfo --formats

and verify that GPX is supported.

ogrinfo /Applications/MAMP/d/DATA/NonGrassFiles/GPX/gpsbabel_output.gpx

and see what it says. I would also ask OGR specific question on the 
GDAL/OGR list, as they might have more info on ogr related problems.
