While there's an existing hints that covers merging two iCal calendars, I found a method of easily merging more than two calendars into a single calendar:
[robg adds: You may wish to leave the existing calendars in place until after successfully importing the new calendar, just in case something goes wrong -- or as an alternative, make sure you have a recent backup of your iCal data files before trying this hint. It worked fine for me, though, when I tested it.]
- Create a new calendar group (Command-Shift-N) and give it the name you want your merged calendar to have.
- Drag all of the target calendars into this group.
- Click on the group to select it, then choose File » Export as Calendar.
- Delete the group by control-clicking on it and choosing Delete from the contextual menu.
- Choose File » Import, and accept the defaults on the dialog that comes up. Select New Calendar as the destination calendar.
