For the DVD - if it is slim and takes the power from the USB (5V) then yes you can splice into the USB - or it may be easier to make a new lead if the usb2-IDE adapter has the option of external power.

For the hubs just connect some power into the DC in jack - dont mess with the usb - it wont work if you switch the hub to powered mode.

And if you boot off the CF drive consider connecting it like the DVD drive.
