Apple has it's version of gdb enabled to do remote debugging of powerpc,
to allow one to debug the Mac OS X kernel from another OS X Mac.
However, it's done via ethernet. Maybe you could take the serial port
code from some other stub and port it over to apple's stub.
I understand that the protocol apple uses isn't the standard gdb
protocol, but some custom one. I don't think all of apple's changes
have been merged into the main gdb distribution.
I think the sources you need are available here:
http://cvs.opendarwin.org/index.cgi/gdb/?cvsroot=apple
I also found a tarball on apple's website a while back, but I don't
remember where it was.
Hope this helps,
