I've used mine, though with Linux. Xastir supports an interface type called 
"KISS TNC". Did you get the USB-port option for yours? If so, then you need 
to find out what device the USB add-in attached itself to. Normally this 
might be something like "/dev/ttyS0", but I am unsure of how Mac OS X might 
name it. Perhaps someone else can chime in on that bit.

But once you figure out what the device name is, then you just create the 
KISS TNC interface in Xastir and enter the device name (it will at least 
start with "/dev/").

John Hansen has a page at http://johnhansen.org/apple.htm that talks about 
getting the USB module to work with Mac OS X by installing special drivers.
