If you are using a USB GPS like those from USGlobalSat then just install the OS X driver and plug the GPS in.
If you are using a handheld GPS like those from Garmin the continue reading.
Most will use a Keyspan USB to serial adapter and a PC interface cable (provided by GPS manufacturer).
If the PC interface cable does not terminate in a female DB-9 connector you will need to add one using this diagram..

Some Garmin models also include a USB cable with them. This cable only supports the Garmin transfer protocol and not NMEA data. Both GPSNavX and MacENC use the NMEA data. As such you must have a serial connection through a Keyspan adapter or a Multiplexor.
