I think it is possible, and would be great, to make a BT enabled

The current bluetooth stack only supports a single SCO (audio) connection at a time, and only exposes it as an audio device so you can't hook it up to your phone via the handsfree profile.

It would indeed be very nice for the Mac to 'route' phone calls to a Bluetooth headset, but it'll take improvements to the bluetooth stack to let it happen. I'm also not sure if the Bluetooth hardware builtin to the newer Macs can support more than one concurrent SCO connection.
