I was looking into combining two guilds into the same chat channel. Is this possible, and if so what would be the best way to do it?

The only way to do that is to have someone create a custom chatroom, then have each member from both guilds join that room.
For example after the room is created each person who wants to be in the room would type /chatroom join <roomname>and that would create a new tab over their chat box where they can view the conversations by everyone in that room. To view the conversations from spatial they would need to right-click on the spatial tab and double-click on the room name in the left pane. Then to type conversations from the spatial tab they would need to type /<roomname> <message>.
Needless to say chatrooms are a bit complicated and buggy as well, for example there doesn't seem to be any way to make the rooms private (meaning anyone could potentially join) and the administrator of the room seems to be reselected everday so there is no way to moderate the room if you ever needed to. I created what is now the largest chatroom on Starsider so I am well aware of all of their quirks
