Not that I know of. Doing XSLT, would, probably be the best way for such processing. Castor can only instantiate a new object tree that represents a given XML file. It cannot 'update' an existing tree from this 'incremental' unmarshalling. In general it is an impossible task. Think about it. Castor (or any other software) would have to know which pieces match where. Say, in the case of ejb descriptors, it would not be enough to match and <entity> </entity> from ejb-jar.xml with <entity> </entity> from jboss.xml. You would have to match _names_ and whatever else to make sure you are updating descriptor object for the right entity bean. This already is _semantic_ interpretation of what stands behind the data in the XML file. You can only write a custom combiner that would take 3 object trees (say, from ejb-jar.xml, jboss.xml and jaws.xml) and produce a combined tree, matching appripriate descriptors by hand. Actually, I don't know if XSLT will to that for you, it also does not know anything about the semantics of the XML files you are combining. It seems to me, this must be a custom combining solution.
