There used to be something called phpHoo I believe that was a directory 
like Yahoo.  I know there are other GPL projects like this around....

Is a break down on the logic of phpHoo.  It also has a perl counterpart 
perlHoo if php doesnt float your boat.

My experience with programming PHP and MySQL is severly limited (at the moment) so if I went that route I would need a Open Source Template to work off of.  The site when matured would have 2,000 to 3,000 listings that would need to be catagorized and indexed for search purposes.  Where might I want to start looking for something like this?  I did some searching on Freshmeat.net but it seemed that there was not a general project that would fill the shoes of this project.
