For AF Portal,
Here's a new method I've had about a 50% success rate with:
1. Connect Card reader to Mac
2. Insert CAC
3. Navigate to AF Portal
4. Click "Log In" for CAC/ECA Login
5. When prompted, enter PIN
6. When prompted to select certificate, WAIT 5 MINUTES!!
7. After 5 minutes has expired, select correct (EMAIL) certificate and
click "OK"

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client for OS X doesn't support remote
smartcard readers.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can install X11 and recompile
rdesktop from MacPorts with --enable-smartcard set. That *might* work
(I've never tried).
I'm curious how you got Safari working with the AF Portal.
