I used to have the prolific driver for my USB2serial cable on my iBook.
The cable was a normal PC USB2serial cable.
It worked well with my 2 Garmin GPS (Garmin 12 and Garmin 72) and GPSNavX/MacENC, except for transfering routes and waypoints from the Mac to both GPS.
Last year I bought the Keyspan USB2serial adapter and it works.
If your Macbook sees the Holux via Bluetooth your Bluetooth setup seems to be a bit confused!
I suggest just delete all BT devices on your Mac and do pair them again to have a clean BT setup.
As for the USB connection...
If GPSNavX can't see the USB connection, first connect the GPS via USB, switch it on and then start GPSNavX!
I had the same problem with my Garmin 72. If batteries are empty in the GPS MacENC wouldn't show the /dev/cu.keyspan device. After I reinstalled batteries and restarted MacENC the device was shown again.
OS X only shows devices which are connected and switched on.
