I am not completely sure what you mean.

If you want to eliminate internal edges of objects you can use a merge instead 
of a union statement to group them.

merge {
   object ...
   object ...
}

If this is of no help, please let us know - and perhaps provide an example.

Do you mean making an object out of multiple objects, with smooth seams 
where they meet? This can not be done automatically, but you can do it 
with a more complex CSG shape. For example, in joining a cylinder to a 
plane, you could use a difference of a torus from a cylinder to get a 
smooth join. Or you could use a mesh-based modeller capable of combining 
meshes in this way...but I would suggest sticking with CSG and POV 
primitives.

Maybe blobbing works too?

Only with blob components...
