If you have clockworkmod recovery, it have an option to do it (recovery >mounts and storage >mount /system).

After you mount, copy files using
Code:
adb pull /system

There isn't simple solution for that. I have one untested theory - you have to edit /etc/recovery.fstab or vold.fstab and replace sdcard mount with system one, so when you enable usb transfer, you should see system content instead of sdcard
