Not every model - the Pro doesn't have one. As a Pro owner, I've been quite interested in this subject myself for the purposes of having video chats on Skype etc...
Basically official support for 3rd party webcams is a bit sketchy in Mac OS for the very reason that 99% of people don't need to buy one because of the built in iSight.
However there has been a big third party effort by open source developers to provide drivers for as many webcams as possible. You can find all the info at:
macam : USB webcam support for Mac OS X
They have a big list there of cameras that are supported. I tried
macam on a 7 year old Logitech camera (of which I have no idea of the model number - it's got nothing written on it) and it worked absolutely fine.
