I'm not on my boat so can't give too many details, but I have it set up and running very nicely on my MacBook. I recently even upgraded the modem to the bluetooth so I'm connecting to the modem wirelessly. Otherwise I would recomend the USB modem, but the serial with a Keyspan adapter should work fine.
Also, the Sailmail website has some help on using a Mac with Bootcamp:

As I recall, it was really pretty simple and I think I was surprised when everything worked first try. Even having Sailmail control the radio frequencies.
Go for it, it's not as difficult as it seems, and well worth the effort.
