V4L is an standard to receive images from a Webcam or TV Card, but it does
not specify anything about the physical connection between the device and
the PC, that is, you can receive images from the device if you have a driver
for that device, and the driver controls the connection: USB, PCI,  Ethernet
Web Cameras... If there's any driver to get images from a IEEE 1394 
device that
supports the v4l standard you'll be able to do it, but I have not any 
information about that :-(.
