The only way I know of to do it is by hand.  Alternatively, have you 
considered just combining the categories in the first place before 
you run the ologit?

Alternatively, I suppose you might be able to work out something 
using Tamas Bartus's -margeff- command.  If you use the -replace- 
option, the marginal effects get saved in e(b), and you could 
probably write a routine to add effects together from there.
