It won't work.  USB is handled completely differently on Darwin than on Linux.

Your options are as follows:

1)  Install the TCP-USB bridge:

http://osx-palm-tools.sourceforge.net/

and use that, or

2)  Install a development version of pilot-link which has the Darwin
USB hooks built in and rebuild jpilot to link to it:

http://www.pilot-link.org/


The upstream pilot-link developers have asked that this prerelease not
be distributed in binary format (e.g. in Linux distros) but I'm not
sure whether a source-distribution-only Fink package would be
acceptable.
