Not directly, but you can convert the signal two times and then e.g. feed a
modern computer with the digital signal.
I did this with an Apple IIe and later with an Apple IIc (which also gives a
video output by using the PAL Modular Adapter Model No. A2M4023 for Apple
IIc)
We have here PAL/SECAM instead of NTSC, but I think this should not be the
main problem... and did the same for studies in the university mid 80ies
until early 90ies.
I would suggest following:
First you'll need a device which is able to divide up the signal; the
positive video signal and the short negative peek which transfers the sync.
signal. This is necessary, cause now you have to remodulate only the
video-signal and afterwards add the sync. signal again.
The easiest way to do so is not build yourself an electronic device although
this is possible; it's much easier to get an old video beamer (or LCD device
for overhead projectors), which often have composite video input, sometimes
SCART or digital video-input too and most time hf-video-in/output to connect
the beamer (or LCD) in a row together with a videorecorder.
Or you connect it to an converter (hauppage/myTV/etc.) to digitize the
signal and get some QuickTime movies via usb or fire-wire to your Mac.

The video-out has up to 1,3Vss max. the video in of your camera should be
specified in the manual (should be 1Vss at the s-vhs in or low level.
If you're unshure get yourself a shunt 1:1000000 with a R and a pot and
parallel a cap in row with a cap. There are no devices which work with input
signals lower than 1 mikro volt. This is the antenna-input, which can have
the same plug, but uses different signalforms and voltages !!
