no.. vim does not have an option for "merging" of viminfo files.

tell vim to write its info into separate viminfo files.
you could start vim from different directories
which have their own vimrc, directing it
to use a special (local) viminfo file, eg:
:set vi=n.viminfo
:set vi=n~/.vim/viminfo.foo
i had been thinking about this for
over a decade now.. but all solutions
seem to have been too hard to handle. ;)
