If an older Xserve won't boot off USB, get a FireWire enclosure.
They're really not expensive.

I'd be tempted to get a small laptop drive enclosure that takes its
power from the USB or Firewire, just for portability.

ps. Yes, the iPod I used to carry around with OSX on was a Firewire
model. I believe only Intel Macs boot off USB so a newer iPod will
only be useful on newer Macs.
