Assuming your camera is RS232, you can use a simple RS232 daughter card on the Raspberry (about $7 from MCM electronics and others). I have done this exact thing for communications with an old RS232 device.
Alternative is of course a USB to RS232 adapter and as Greg writes, you just change the target device file (the $7 adapter also creates a /dev/ttyxxx device.

Thank you, that's useful. This, you mean?
It looks like they may no longer carry it, sorry. There are others out there, try googling 'raspberry serial port GPIO adapter'
This one is for Arduino. I couldn't find one for Pi on the MSM site, but knowing what to search for lead me to a plethora of expansion cards for the RPi:

The USB-serial adapter may be the more expedient solution at this point, Good luck!
Thank you for the pointer.
