I do not, but I did just use a PS/2 barcode scanner on a Mac with a
Belkin PS/2-USB KB/mouse adapter and it worked fine once I got the Mac
to recognize the Belkin (OS X requires that you type the keys next to
the shift keys as part of a setup probe to determine US/UK/Eur
layout).

I picked up the PS/2 barcode scanner at the Mansfield hamfest in 2006
for somewhere around $10.

As someone pointed out, a USB CueCat might be easy to find, but I
don't have any of those.
