I'm just thinkin waaaay to optimistically for the diamond lol
There's at least two pieces involved with that... First is whether the hardware supports being a USB host. Relatively few PPC's handle that. I've seen one post that suggests it might, but nothing was really confirmed (source: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=490).

The second piece is drivers. Any USB device needs a driver. In Windows 98 and up, we're fortunate that drivers for most common devices (USB drives, etc) are included. But finding a USB driver for the Windows Mobile operating system may be another story entirely, since very few devices support such a thing, so there's not much need for the driver. But that may be solvable by the good folk at xda-developers.

In short, I'd be very happy if the Diamond supported it, but I wouldn't hold my breath. There's nothing really that suggests this will happen.
