Well there are firewire hubs and the machines I typically do this on are Macs which generally have 2 firewire ports... you can make a small ring network that way.

Wouldn't you need a firewire switch to do a cluster of more than 2 nodes? Or are you thinking of using multiple firewire interfaces per node?
