It's pretty simple, actually. When you run your new Mac the firs time it will ask you whether you want to copy data from another Mac, and if your answer is YES, then it will guide you through the steps on how to connect the two machines. Then it will copy the User data from the old to the new. That is what happens on Macbooks, and I assume it would be the same with the iMac. And yes, you'll need a firewire cable.
