Staghorn clubmoss (Lycopodiella cernua) is indigenous to Hawaii and is found in the tropics worldwide. Generally, staghorn clubmoss grows in bogs and wet areas, but these were growing in the lava off Saddle Road, an area that gets lots of rain but also drains readily.

I don’t think they’re fronds. I’ve seen them referred to as branchlets, but I see what you mean about the similarity to the Norfolk Island Pine.
