You can try Data Rescue 3

It is not free, but will let you see what it can recover and will recover one test file without a purchase.

As for firewire target disk mode, the hard drive should show up as if it were an external hard drive on the other Mac, with or without any data recovery software. You may even be able to copy the files over directly, and not bother with the recover software.

I echo this. I just tried Data Rescue 3 the other day and was very impressed with how capable it is.

On an odd note, it seems the animations are microphone-sensitive visualizers. Clap your hands or play loud music and you'll see what I mean. It's something to play with while you wait.
