Hello - I'm a longtime lurker, have a good friend w/Diskclavier.

Yes, what you need is a MIDI-USB interface.  I use an Edirol UM-1EX interface.  This has two 
MIDI plugs/cable ends, for IN and OUT functions, and a USB cable end.  In my experience, the 
Mac System Preferences will make this available to any software normally requiring a 
dedicated MIDI connection.

hope this helps
