My 2007 iMac boots from USB - in fact, since its internal drive died it's running permanently from an external drive. PowerPC Macs couldn't boot from USB (but could from FireWire), but as far as I'm aware all Intel Macs can.

Target Disk Mode is something else, and wouldn't really work over USB since it has a host/device model which FireWire doesn't.
