Approach which worked for me in Firefox was to visit that site manually first, give those permissions and afterwards copy firefox profile somewhere outside and create selenium firefox instance with that profile.

So:

1. cp -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/tp3khne7.default /tmp/ff.profile

2. Creating FF instance:

   FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile(new File("/tmp/ff.profile"));
   FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
   

I'm pretty sure that something similar should be applicable to Chrome. Although api of profile loading is a bit different. You can check it here: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
