Attach all of the meshes together then apply your 'mega texture'. obviously you'll have to remap some things.

apply a new edit polygon modifyer then attach them, that will keep your uv maps intact, anyway you'll have to explain in detail what you're saying because i don't understand, Sorry. Do you mean something like a sprite card? where there is 6-7 textures in it but they are split up in the engine?
