Hayne, thanks. You've found it:
FireWire

* support target disk mode

The two FireWire ports share a single power supply that can provide up to 14 watts total. Both ports are on the same FireWire bus and can connect to up 62 other FireWire devices.
So, rdallen21, the answer is that the FW400 and FW800 ports on a PowerBook 15" share the same bus.
