OSX will recognize a number of video input devices so if you get one it likes then you can use it with any number of apps, including iChat or Skype. I haven't tried it recently but somewhere I have a box that was ntsc or s-video input and firewire output which the Mac would recognize. >From there I could pull video into iChat, iMovie or the like to convert old analog sources like VHS. This was years ago so I don't know if they even make the box anymore. Ahh, here it is in a review from 1999:

Probably some similar USB2 cameras which do the same thing out there as well.
