Since many adapters need extensions provided by their manufacturer,  
for example, the common Prolific Logic PL-2303 used for USB-to-serial  
mobile phone cables; or the FTDI FT232 USB-to-serial chip used in many  
PS2/DIN9 serial adapters, it would seem evident the answer is no.  
However, I may be talking about the reverse of what you're asking  
about, I'm talking about USB-to-serial (from USB port on Mac to serial  
adapter), and you said serial-to-USB (serial port on Mac to USB port)  
which I've never seen.
