Does anyone know of a similar Mac OS program like this one:

It seems the "big" programs like Logic & PEAK want to use 16-bit samples 
only, and really can't deal with 256 byte, 8-bit stuff.

Try this freeware:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I just tried it out and it does indeed support 8bit AIFF. You have to
Export, OK through the tagging window, select "Other uncompressed files",
then hit the Options button, select more stuff... (a bit tedious). If you
have each sample in a separate track you can "Export Multiple" and only do
the dance once.

Note that any app that uses the libsndfile library should also work but I
can't think of any other free editors at the moment.

Peak supports 8-bit AIFF. I've edited cell phone ringtones in Peak  
that were 8-bit mono. I just opened Peak 6 and confirmed that 8-bit is  
still an option.

but at a fraction of the price:

WaveEditor seems to work with 8-bit as well.

overkill, but you could also try more DAW like shareware things like:
