I'm not a Mac user, however you shouldn't need MPT to upload ringtones
to your phone anyway.
The V8 (unless it comes with a firmware that was crippled by operator
request) can be set to mass storage mode, in which it will attach to a
USB host in very much the same way as a USB memory stick does. You
should then be able to copy files using the ...uh... Finder.
To put the phone to mass storage mode, go to the phone main menu, select
"setup", then "connections", and change "USB setting" to "Memory Card".
Then plug in the phone cable and you should be ready to go.

RAZR2 can be both a V8 and a V9. Did you check if there is a V8 section?

You should consider yourself lucky not having to use crappy MTP.
However, as long as there is no iSync plugin for the V8, there will be
no calender/adressbook syncing between the V8 and a Mac.
