Emil Haukeland wrote a very nice guide on how to configure rewrite so it works with lighthttpd and WordPress. To quickly sum it up add the following rules to your lighthttpd.conf or 10-rewrite.conf and save it in lighthttpd’s configuration folder.

$HTTP["host"] =~ "ostebaronen.dk" {
  url.rewrite-final = (

    # Exclude some directories from rewriting
    "^/(wp-admin|wp-includes|wp-content|gallery2)/(.*)" => "$0",

    # Exclude .php files at root from rewriting
    "^/(.*.php)" => "$0",

    # Handle permalinks and feeds
    "^/(.*)$" => "/index.php/$1"
  )
}

Then edit the settings for permalinks in WordPress.
