For a free Mac audio editing program, Audacity is amazing - and it's
one of the few Mac editing programs that supports multi-track mixing.
Great support & documentation, too. You can download it and see how
it works for you.

You can also check out commercial programs like Peak or DSP Quattro.
I know that Quattro supports multitrack recording, I assume that
means you can edit/mix more than two channels. Peak is amazing for
two-track editing and mastering, and the company also offers a noise
reduction program, but it doesn't support multi-track editing.
