jPdfTweak (http://jpdftweak.sourceforge.net/) supports this. Open your
PDFs, select to insert bookmarks and use the bookmarks from the original
files, and you will get one bookmark for each file plus the file's original
bookmarks one level indented below them. You may also edit the bookmarks
interactively.

If you have to do this regularly: jPDFTweak uses IText, the source code is
available, so you can also look there :)

Basically, you have to track page numbers while concatenating your PDFs and
build a new outlines list; this list is used in a second pass with
PdfStamper#setOutlines.
