My experience is that USB disk drives work with the stock LFS setup from any recent development version. I don't need libusb. I don't need to tweak the udev rules or do anything special with hotplug. Just plug the disk in and mount it. This is of course, dependent on the proper modules loaded in the kernel. I have all support built into the kernel except sd_mod and usb_storage are modules.
