With 0.8.1-beta2 (just uploaded) you can use the following syntax:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/plain/system-settings/plugins/keyfile/tests/keyfiles/ATT_Data_Connect_BT?id=d422ce42c400611369a6951bbc9dc012515a3e5b

of course, the device has to be paired with Bluez (or some bluetooth
manager like gnome-bluetooth) first.
