I've done so w/ the ts7250, ts7260, & ts7300 boards. Works very well, 
aside from the sad fact that most usb webcams go over spec and draw too 
much current from the usb port on initialization. Due to this, most of 
the time the boards will reboot when a webcam is connected directly.

I suggest using a usb hub with a separate power supply.

Also, keep in mind that you will have to compile the driver for your 
webcam as a module (or patch it into your kernel tree) if the camera 
doesn't appear in the v4l section (or usb section if it's cpia).
