Great! Those guys seem to have drivers for FreeBSD 5.0+ for programming their 
USB dongles.

An ancrypted filesystem on a USB stick is nice, but the main idea of a dongle

needs to be protected from the customer, not somebody who might steal the 
dongle.)

See http://www.safenet-inc.com. They make dongles and (USB) hardware
keys for software products and they mention support for Linux and OS X,
so they may have something.
