Yes, you can simply merge the files. There is one way with Gaim's source
code from CVS and one without source code, but with the gaim.pot file
from http://gaim.sourceforge.net/i18n/.

I suggest you the way with the source code, because sometimes you should
look into the source code to understand some difficult messages.

With the source code:
---------------------

# update your Gaim CVS tree (HEAD branch)
$ ...
$ cd gaim/po
# copy your gaim-eo.pot file here (target name: eo.po)
$ cp ...gaim-eo.pot eo.po
# update your translation file (intltool-update from "intltool"-package)
$ intltool-update eo
# edit your eo.po file
$ ...
$ cd ..
# edit configure.ac and add "eo" to ALL_LINGUAS
# compile and test your translation
$ ./autogen.sh ... %% make %% make install

Without the source code:
------------------------

# copy gaim-eo.pot and gaim.pot into a directory
$ ...
# update your translation with gaim.pot (Output: eo.po)
$ msgmerge -v gaim-eo.pot gaim.pot -o eo.po
# compile eo.po
$ msgfmt -v -o eo.gmo eo.po
# copy eo.gmo to gaim-install-prefix/???/locale/eo/LC_MESSAGES/gaim.mo
$ ...
# test it
