Can I attach a USB external drive to a Mac and boot from it?
Specifically, will I be able to install Snow Leopard from an external USB DVD drive on a modern Intel Macbook?
Answer
Mac 101: Yes, Intel Macs can be booted from an external USB drive
Since the release of the Intel Mac computers, and with Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later, you can start up from an installed system on a USB hard disk. Here's the Apple support document that tells you how to do it.
