picp works fine under OS X. It compiles without any modifications.
I use a Keyspan USB to serial converter and it works well both with OS
X and Linux (although it gives itself a wacky device name under OS X).
I've used the one-port and four-port models; I'd have to assume the
two-port version works fine as well. The OS X drivers installed easily
and the Linux kernel supports the Keyspan converters directly (if you
compile it in, of course).
Some things about OS X are really nice (like a clipboard that actually
works consistently) and some things are pretty annoying (like the fact
that file names aren't case-sensitive). Also, BBEdit is probably the
best text editor on OS X and I think it comes up a bit short. I'm
thinking about porting e93 to OS X but I don't know when I'll have the
time.
Nice domain name, by the way.
