This is almost certainly not possible using GWT. The problem isn't with GWT but with the restrictions on the browser. The only way it would be possible is with some sort of plug-in (ActiveX, Applet, Flash) that could directly access your system's resources (i.e., rs232 ports).
To make this work using GWT and a browser then the web server would also need to reside on the "client" machine, i.e., the machine that has the rs232 device attached. Good luck!
