No keyboards to be found that feature a micro-usb connector (MotorolaDroid uses a micro...), so no-joy yet. No converter cables either.
As far as a USB driver, I got libusb to compile (ARM) and run on the Droid. It's nice since it strictly user-space, and does not require any kernel mods. However, it wants the usbfs to be mounted, which you can't do with rooting the phone (un-desireable, in my case).
