The first Macs to offer USB were introduced in 1998.

They were the iMacs, detailed here. And yes, they had (two) USB ports.

USB is an industry standard that was developed by systems manufactures and peripheral vendors. It was designed to replace basic serial and parallel "ports" it is faster and more capable of bidirectional communications between the system and the device. In Apples case it eventually replaced the keyboard and mouse connection.

Bottomline: Apple would support USB even if iPods never were invented.
