Thanks for reposting that Clay, that cleared up things a little bit.
However, it still didn't seem to work for me unfortunately. Firefox
successfully loaded the driver, but after restarting Firefox, my
certificates still don't show up in Firefox.
For a small bit of background on my situation, I'm using one of the
newer CAC's made by Oberthur, the 5.2 one giving so many people issues.
My reader is a common reflashed SCR331. My CAC wasn't even found by
Keychain until I ran Shawn Geddis' Smart Card Services Update 1.2.
After doing that, Keychain seems to see it fine, but still no success
with Firefox.
Do I need the egate driver like the Fedora page mentions for
Coolkey? Do I need to manually compile Coolkey against 10.5, or is the
precompiled binary still fine? Are there any other steps I could be
missing?

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear it worked.

David,
I've been following this thread with interest.
You've provided very helpful and specific line by line Unix
instructions. After following your directions I then opened the FireFox
Preferences, selected Advanced then Encryption and clicked the Security
Devices button and Load. Then pasted in
/usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.dylib into the second blank in the
box. Success!
Thanks.

This module is broken in 10.5. It crashes during C_Initialize. I
logged a bug with Apple months ago.
The only working PKCS#11 module for OS X is the Coolkey PKCS#11 module
from Red Hat.
