I run wine apps under Linux, so the following is probably directly
helpful, but may give you a clue. My Wine apps can use serial ports on
the motherboard and on a 6-port serial adapter card but have never been
able to see my pfranc USB-serial adapter. Other people have been able to
use USB-serial adapters, so maybe the chipset in the adapter is
important. On the other hand, all current Linuxes address serial ports
as /dev/ttyS[0-9] and USB adapters as /dev/ttyUSB[0-9], so its equally
possible that wine apps can't see USB devices because their names are
different. 

Maybe OS X does something similar?
