It seems pretty unlikely that anyone has developed a driver to get an onboard serial port working on OS X (though I would be happy to be proven wrong). I would suggest that the only way to do this is with a USB->serial converter such as the ones by Keyspan <http://www.keyspan.com/>. I have not tried one on my intel Mac but it should work fine.

I think that serial driver doesn't need to be develop, My AMD rig has a serial port and it was reconized on Tiger, since I upgrade it to Leopard the serial port remains in the Network Pane on System Preferences, on Tiger I tested a few times my serial modem with dialup, but I didn't test with Leopard, but I guess it still work.

 

Some old Macs has serial ports/modems you know, what does not work is PCI modems.
