That by the way, is what the TS-590S has done.  Not just for serial, but for audio also.

There is a single USB connector which hubs to a serial port for CAT/Firmware download and a USB Audio Class Compliant sound card.  

I heard from one DL chap who told me it worked on Mac OS X.

I haven't seen a first hand report, but the Ten-Tec Eagle apparently uses an FTDI USB port for CAT.

I just bought an RigExpert AA-230PRO antenna analyzer -- same thing; no physical RS-232 port, but a FTDI USB to Serial protocol chip.
