Answer 1

Since no one has answered, I’ll jump in.
I don’t know how to do this with FireWire but I can say how to migrate the data with a disk.  When you are done this disk can be used as a backup disk for the MBP so it is not a wasted item.
From your signature I infer the iMac is currently running Mavericks and the MBP is running Lion and you want to upgrade the MBP to Mavericks as part of this process, copying over all the data, preferences, etc.
That is best done with a clean install on the MBP transferring the data either over FireWire or a cloned disk.  I can speak to the disk method.
First, prepare the clone.
Use Disk Utility to format the disk Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a GUID partition.
If you need help see the instructions below.
Then you can purchase some cloning software  (which you can continue to use for a good backup method) or you can use Disk Utility to create the clone.  The software to purchase would be either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper!  I’ll give the instructions for using Disk Utility here in case you do not want to purchase those.
Formatting the external drive:
On the iMac:
Finder > Go > Utilities.
> Disk Utility.
Plug the external disk into the iMac.
Select that disk’s volume name.
> Partition
Partition Layout > 1 Partition
Name > Clone1
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
> Options > GUID Partition Table > OK
> Apply
Cloning onto the external drive with Disk Utility:
In the iMac:
> Disk Utility
> Restore
Drag the System Volume (often called Macintosh HD) into the Source: window.
Drag the external volume (Clone1) into the Destination: window.
> Restore
Wait until it finishes.
Clean Install:
On the MBP:
Boot the recovery partition.   http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
> Disk Utility.
> Erase.
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Name: Macintosh HD
If it is an SSD do not write zeros to the SSD.  Just skip to Erase…
If it is a disk:
> Security Options…
Select “Writes a single pass of zeroes over the entire disk”.
> OK
> Erase…
Wait until it finishes.
This will write to every block and map out bad blocks.
Install Mavericks on Macintosh HD.
Reboot from Macintosh HD.
Plug in Clone1.
When the installation instructions as from where you want to restore files, tell it from a disk and indicate Clone1.
Wait a while and you will have a freshly installed Mavericks system with all the data from the iMac.
