If this is just about booting off an external drive, you won't even need to bother with Target Disk Mode. You just have to plug the drive in any way you want (USB, whatever), and then boot from it (Startup Disk).
Target mode is all about using one computer to boot from another computer. For example, I have a laptop for work, but I like to work from my iMac's 27" display at home. Instead of yanking out the HD, which is impossible, I just use the laptop as the target (startup) disk, essentially booting from it instead of the iMac.
