it might be tedious, but not unrealistic. First import the full length 
8mm movie, then import the audio, sync them, then turn off the audio 
portion of the video. If there are sync problems, you can always split 
the audio at quiet points and jockey individual sections to make 
everything line up. Then you can put your close up clips over the video 
using the "insert clip over video" function - I hope that was in 
iMovie2. Its been so long since I used it that I don't recall.  That 
would be the function to check for in iMovie 2 to determine whether its 
practical.
