It has to be compiled in your kernel, but it's extrememly likely that a
stock distro kernel will have this.  From there, to mount the filesystem,
use the command:

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

as long as you already have an (empty) /proc/bus/usb directory.

To make this happen at boot time, put the following line in /etc/fstab:

none  /proc/bus/usb  usbfs  defaults  0  0

HTH,
