I don't think it would make any sense to merge them. NMM is a DirectX-like, 
but completely network-based multimedia-middleware for linux. It's example 
implementation MMBOX covers nearly all functions of VDR (I think only cutting 
stuff is missing) plus X11 output with OSD. As it is node-based, you can 
implement any kind of input-/output-/reencoding-filter or what ever you want 
and link them by GUI.

VDR is a very static stand-alone system for thin TV-boxes while NMM provides a 
complete, scalable multimedia architecture.

So they have to completely different approaches.
