PC Card bluetooth adapters are not (yet?) supported be OS X's built-in 
Bluetooth support. Only option is USB adapters, at least at the moment.

As far as I know, any USB-bluetooth adapter should work fine with OS X 
10.2.x. I have the D-Link one. It works fine, but I find that sometimes 
I have to unplug it and replug it back in to make a connection to my 
Palm Tungsten T after having made a previous connection. I don't know 
if it's a problem with the adapter, with Apple's software, with the 
Tungsten T or all the above. It may even simply be flaws in Bluetooth 
itself - I get the feeling that bluetooth is a bit of a hack job. 
Still, it can be pretty cool anyway.
