To my understanding the "IO" channels on the navX can be used for PWM (motors or servos) or Digital Input/Output by simply opening the reference to the the desired MXP channel with the appropriate VI for the desired signal type (we are using LabVIEW).

The only thing we're not sure of, is which pin on the IO ports is ground, power, and signal.

Please let us know if we are off track on any of the above.
You are on the right track. The details are on the NavX-MXP Expansion io page.

Examples, including LabView are on the Io Expansion examples page.
