Yes they do exist and are normally used for connecting a camcorder to a laptop.

If it is a 4-pin on a 9-pin header, could I attach a 9-pin socket to it at some point - if I wanted to?

Without seeing it it is impossible to say. A 9 pin firewire port should be bigger than a 6 pin port, which is bigger than a 4 pin port.
Have a look at the manual for your motherboard to see if it has onboard firewire800. if it does then you should be able to just connect a different header to get the added speed (for a FW800 device only though).
Mark.
