As Micheal points out, the atmega8 shares a lot with the atmega128. A good way to provide support for different AVR chips would be to have a library of AVR components, and then pull those components together to form real chip models. I've got a few ideas about how to go about this... but is this sort of thing being done elsewhere in tinyos already?

If someone writes a port for the atmega8 (by which I mean TEP- compliant implementations of the possible core services), then I'm sure the core WG would be happy to help get it into the repository. It would enable people to build atmega8 platforms a lot more easily.
