I was about to post on this when I read Mac and stopped.
I use Xsplit
http://www.xsplit.com/ only in the "virtual camera" mode and not as a broadcaster although it will do that. It is Windozz only though. It is also in beta still. It will handle any number of cams/mixed media at once.
I also use Manycam which does have a Mac version but it does not do multiple cameras, etc like Xsplit does.
http://download.manycam.com/?os=mac it will do screen capture and movies etc but only one at a time.
So I have 3 cams and Manycam running in Xplit, you can also drop in movies or other media and then I send that to the Flash Media Encoder for broadcast.
Then there is Elektronica
http://aestesis.eu/ which a friend is trying to get me to use but I have been unwilling to learn it so far (oww my brain) Windows only, he does amazing things with it!
Good luck!

If you have more than one firewire socket (i think you infered that
you dont) you should be able to connect multiple cameras.. For example
I have 1 800 and 1 400 and I can use both sockets and the webcam at
the same time... mnaybe you can find a hub?
But running music software as well??
You talk the talk of the brave my brother - he who walks the fiery
