Not only possible, but easy.
1. Create thumbnails for both/all PDFs.
2. Display both PDFs with their thumbnails.
3. Drag a rectangle to select the thumbnails for the source PDF.
4. Drag the selected thumbnails to the desired location in the destination PDF. Be careful not to replace thumbnails in the destination. (An "R" appears if Acrobat thinks you're replacing.)
5. If desired, save the destination (combined PDF) with a new name.

fyi, there is a utility called Compose that is excellent for concatenating multiple PDFs into one. Worth the $ if you do this often. It also has a tool that automates bookmark creation.
