I know there is a thread for complaining about the new Macbooks not having firewire, but the question is...

Is there any target disk mode solution for the new Macbooks since there is no firewire?

No. You can still transfer files using either gigabit ethernet or Airport.
 
What about sick Mac situations where for instance the screen is dead, or the network interfaces don't work or something?
To requote Scarlet, "No". TDM is gone. You'll have to remove the drive pop it in an enclosure in that case. (Thankfully, at least removing the drive is a gazillion times easier)
