If Apple has never supported uhci, it may be that support just isn't
available in the defaulty compiled kernel.  If you do a "find /lib/modules
-name \*uhci\* -print" what pops up?  If nothing then you'll need to
rebuild the kernel manually to enable that driver.  See many other threads
in the archives and the various HOWTO's for rebuilding the kernel :)

Additionally, were I you, I'd submit a bug to bugs.terrasoft.com and ask 
them to enable this driver in future kernel builds -- assuming of course 
that they really don't build that driver.  Me not having a YDL machine 
readily available makes it er.. a little hard to figure you for myself.
