I don't know exactly what you want to save on the usb drive.

Your addresses? Then simply change the contact resource in the KDE 
Control Center (KDE Components -> KDE Resources Configuration). You 
should create a new one (of type File) and point it to your usb drive. 
Then you should go to KAddressBook, select all addresses, copy them, 
paste them, select the newly created resource. If everything went well, 
then you can now remove to old resource.

Your calendar? Then add a new resource in KOrganizer (or also in the KDE 
Control Center). I think in this case you have to export your old 
calendar and import it into the new resource.

Your mail? You should really consider using IMAP. Of course, you can 
also move ~/Mail to your usb drive and then simply create a symlink to 
this directory.

If all machines are in the same network you should consider exporting 
your home directory via NFS.

Ingo
