Lorenzo,

The first reference that Ludovic pointed out [1]  is a project we created to allow PKCS#11-based applications to access and use a smart card that was already managed thru an existing Tokend.  We affectionately call that a "P11 Shim".  

The source located at the reference was the original source for 10.5.6 and higher.  The resulting binary was integrated into Mac OS X 10.6 and is located on your system already [2].  Setup a security device within the Application (ie. Firefox) and point it towards the tokendPKCS11.so.  Understand that this will not provide a full PKCS#11 library (you can't write data to the card). 

Good luck.
