Joe, there isn't a tool or a quick way to do this with XMLBeans. But you know XMLBeans can compile multiple schema files at once, if this is your target you shouldn't modify the schema files.
A tool to do this shouldn't be very hard to write, per target namespace, one will need to normalize namespaces (optionally use the same prefixes), use same values of elementFormDefault and attributeformDefault, and than combine the contents of schema elements.

I have several XSDs that I would like to merge into one. Since XMLBeans creates a SchemaTypeSystem when importing multiple XSDs, I thought it might be possible to somehow write the type system into a new XSD that incorporates all elements/attributes/types/etc. Furthermore, ideally all element/type references would be resolved into their elements/types. I was playing around with the combination of applying xsd2inst on all the schemas and then running inst2xsd on the resulting instance documents, but I don't believe this will capture the appinfo, which is essential. Is there any way to do this using XMLBeans?
