You might find more answers if you provided detail on why your App required access to a USB port. If this Intranet, then you are talking Corporate and you have more control over the Client side. If this is Internet, it's hopeless (or should be).

Yes - it is possible. Silverlight 5 can access the Win32 API using PInvoke (platform invocation). The Silverlight application must be a trusted application.

Here's an example (there are lots of others, Google it):
