I tried this last week and was able to get it to work. I already had
MacPorts and X11 installed; the command to install rdesktop with smart card
support was:
$ sudo port install rdesktop +smartcard
Once it was installed, the command to run it was:
rdesktop -r scard -g 1024x768 my.server.com
The -g argument was to set the resolution (the default was pretty small),
you can use whatever you like.
I did find that in order for the card to be recognized, I had to start
rdesktop first, then insert the card. If the card was inserted when
rdesktop was started, Windows/ActivClient would recognize the card reader
and that there was a card inserted, but wasn't able to access the
certificates on the card.
