Yes.  I have.

I have a blue and white G3/400 (OS X 10.2.6, SCSI internal drive), and I 
attach my G4 PowerBook to it via FireWire cable, boot up my G4 PB into 
FireWire Target Disk mode (by holding down the "T" key at startup), and 
the PB's drive shows up on the desktop of the blue and while G3 just 
fine.  

I can transfer anything that I want to between the two machines via drag 
and drop.
