I'm using a Belkin F5U222 USB 2.0 card on my 1 GHz PowerBook G4.
This plugs into a notebook computer card slot - it's NOT a PCI card.
It works fine, I didn't have to install any drivers, I just plugged in and 
the Mac (with OS X 10.4.3) just recognized it, and it works with the USRP.

It cost about $60.  I ordered it right off the Belkin web page.

It came with a CD with drivers for Windows.  I don't know if you'd need 
them - I didn't have to install any software on the Mac.
