Indeed, if you put the /boot on the SD and make sure you use and initrd that has USB support that has been loaded by the time the kernel will mount the root device, you can use the USB disk for all the rest.

With a little configuration one could probably put everything except the boot configuration on an external drive and never write to the SD.
