Yes, there are powered FireWire hubs. One such is here:
<http://www.shop.com/op/~FireWire_4_Port_Hub-prod-17101066> and another
here: <http://www.firewire-1394.com/orangelink_firewire_hub.htm>

and my favorite has an optional power adapter:

owned one of this, have wanted to since he was known as "hubzilla"...)
