Another option is to work with the SmartCard Services project [1].
Apple externalized the maintenance of PC/SC lite and the project is
now hosted on their Open Source forge.

I am one of the maintainer of the project. In July 2009 I did fix some
bugs. The fixed PC/SC lite version has been used in Lion released in
2011. See "Mac OS X Lion and smart cards status " [2] for the changes.

So Apple can improve the pcsc-lite included in Mac OS X. But you have
to do the job yourself.
Maybe we can work together and do something for the next Mac OS X?
