I'm using BibDesk myself to organize my PDFs. It has built-in support for Skim notes, and accepts any sort of attached files (and in the near future multiple files per item). In fact, Skim was developed as a PDF viewer companion for BibDesk, so there's a good change for more and better integration in the future. Disclaimer: I am a developer of both programs.
