I have never been able to synchronize with OS X.
I didn't have that exact setup, I had a G4 with a Palm IIIx, that worked just fine for Synching. unfortunatly my Palm broke after a nasty spill, and It didn't sync after that but the Palm didn't work either.
Naturally, make sure you have all the updated drivers and whatnot. beyond that, make sure that the computer actually sees the adapter in the ASP. THEN go into your HotSync manager and make sure you have the right thing selected. I recall when I first got mine it had a nasty habit of switching on me to ports that didn't exist.
Also, what version of OS X are you running?
