Hello Dave, Yes a SoundFont would work fine for this purpose. Personally I use Swami on Linux, but I suppose I'm a little biased (I'm the author). Its known to run on OS X and Windows too, with varying amounts of success (mostly success on OS X as far as I know). Its still in development, but is pretty useful for just adding multiple samples to a new SoundFont and saving it.
There is however a rather significant bug that I'm working to fix which can cause file corruption, when saving over a file. Simple work around is to just save to a different file name. Don't hesitate to ask questions on the swami-devel list if you have any.
