Yes, but wouldn't one think that even 400 or 500 Mbit a second would
be a significant enough performance gain over 100base-T to make an

Maybe not. There would be overhead tunneling the packets over USB or
FireWire to the USB/Firewire ethernet device.
You can run IP over FireWire directly for communication between two
machines. The performance in many cases is not as stellar as one might
anticipate, but it will get the job done.
Does the gig adapter on the G4 desktop really
run at full line speed?
Yes.
