I have an Axiom 49. I just plugged it in over USB, then did some configuration in Ableton, and I was set to go.* The Axiom also has a MIDI-out port (and a MIDI-in, for daisy chaining), but you need to buy a power adapter separately if you want to use that, since under normal circumstances the Axiom gets its power from USB directly. I think the MIDI ports are intended for setups that don't involve computers/USB.

Apparently there's a common standard MIDI protocol for USB, and if the device knows that protocol, then your OSX/XP computer can talk to it without a hitch, and without needing to install any drivers. The Axiom series knows this protocol.

*I also did some knob assignments and that sort of thing, but the in-software guide is helpful for doing this.
