Comment (by kyngchaos):

 I had mixed luck with this a few years ago.  I used to build my own
 gpsbabel + libusb on OSX because there was no other CLI build available.
 Now I bundle the "official" CLI build in the OSX Qgis, but it's unclear
 whether they include libusb support.

 I have access at work to an old Garmin serial GPS I can try.
