For OSX anyway you might look at http://www.jackosx.com/
Hmmm! So who are these men of magical wonders who can create fun and
interesting connections between the world of audio and Xastir? And how
do we bribe them to look into this new realm of wonder?

This looks like a good place to start:

I guess I had to say that. I've never heard of whatever Jack is,
can you give us a little background or point us at a web site?

To Curt's comment,
There in lies exactly the issue. The one thing you can't do on
OS X is recompile the kernel. Therefore we will never see native
AX.25 on OS X. However as Curt pointed out it could be possible
to create some kind of KISS TNC emulator. However I think that's
going the wrong way. It would be more advantageous and forward
looking to add something like Jack support to Xastir.
I currently run a Software Defined Radio on OS X with Jack and
John Melton's Java GUI with no problem. If down the road Xastir
was able to get sound input/output from Jack it would be
completely possible to do all sorts of soundmodem stuff with OS X
or for that matter pretty much any platform. As SDR's get more
popular and common in the future I think our wonderful developers
will add Jack support. All it takes is one or two of them to get
interested in the project and I bet we would see code in a matter
of days ;-)

Thanks for the explanation Jason, I won't say its all clear now
but I do understand better.
So now all we have to do is find some software genius that can
create a soundmodem equivalent for us.
Yea, that'll happen!
If it runs on FreeBSD and Solaris, it can be made to run on OSX.
I've run it on Linux with both methods, AX.25 network interface -
or-
serial KISS TNC. It works fine either way. You'd be shooting for
the KISS TNC emulation 'cuz it doesn't need AX.25 protocol added to
the kernel. All user-mode stuff.
