I could be way off here, but the last time I looked into this, every bit of info I could find indicated that the IEEE1394 spec didn't have a provision for multiple systems being connected to the same storage components (i.e. hard drives, CDRW, etc).
If I'm wrong, please correct me, as I'd really like to get something like this going. Maybe what's needed is some sort of Firewire SAN switch. Hmmm....

Is there currently support for this sort of setup in Linux/BSD?
Personally, I have not seen a 1394 enclosure w/ more than one port with the exception of the SANCube. But this seems to be a Mac-entric device.
I suppose I should stop posting and just do some research...
