Nope, plug them in & go.
Are the HC's in your system UHCI only?

Each USB-1.1 controller is 12mb/sec.
Each port is 12/(number of ports) approx.
If you have 2 4-port hubs on a ctlr, then its, less than 12/8.

Not that I can see, BUT....
I haven't tried it with 2.5.X, & my 2.0 hub could be flaky.
Maybe someone knows the state of Transaction Translation.
You should be able to get 12mb/port, through EHCI, but I don't see it. 
I haven't done much testing with hubs, I decided to go more HC's.

#!/bin/sh
time dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=64k&
time dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=64k&
time dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/null bs=64k&
time dd if=/dev/sdd of=/dev/null bs=64k&

I don't know how to test this with modems.
I only have storage devices.

Send the out from:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices|grep Bus

I may be able to help more.
