Thanks for the responses. I concur as well. Saw this today, Ludovic published a good technical write-up of the smartcard related components in the OS.
http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2012/08/mac-os-x-mountain-lion-and-smart-card.html
From his analysis it appears nothing smartcard related has changed from Lion, although the open-source world has continued to evolve libraries past the versions included in the OS.

Concur, works.
It worked in beta Mt. Lion fairly well but occasionally would not display contents of smart card in Keychain Access.
Of general interest is that the software is not resilient. We have some badly formatted PIV cards from some locations here that pose as CAC cards. While I would not expect an impostor card to be handled nicely, it is unfortunate that the intelligence to read these these PIV cards posing as CAC cards does not seem to exist.
To install, you will need to change your your Mt. Lion app loading "Security & Privacy" preferences to "Anywhere" as the installer's signature does not check out. I would recommend only doing this temporarily and then setting it back up to "Mac App Store". This keeps the likes of "Crisis" out of your system ;-)
