I had almost exactly the same situation in ivata op - the open source groupware project I'm working on. In my case I had several EJB jar files I wanted to combine into one. Each EJB jar has a separate subproject, with a maven build that is combined using the multiproject mechanism. My solution was to develop a maven plugin. This takes the ejbs from the repositories and merges them together. Then the XML descriptors are extracted and I use dom4j to combine those and jar them into the combined target. The maven plugin is quite separate to the rest of my project. If you download the source package from http://ivata.org (click on the download link at the top), you should be able to see what I mean. The plugin lives in thirdparty/maven/ejbmerge and it depends on another jar project in thirdparty/maven/merge. If you want an example of how I used it, look in openportal/ejb. You'll see there is a file in openportal/ejb/src/xml/XMLMerger.xml which tells the merge process how to combine the descriptors. Take a look. Hope this can help you out.
