To combine pdf files use pdftk.
pdftk in1.pdf in2.pdf cat output out1.pdf

To combine eps files use psmerge.
psmerge -ocombined.eps file1.eps file2.eps file3.eps file4.eps

More info can be found in their man pages.

Depending on the sizes of these pdf/eps/ps files, you can also open up a word processor (oowriter or texmacs), insert these files and then export the resultant file into a .pdf file. This works well if the files are small or if multiple images can be fit into a single page etc.,
