Oh yeah, several I think (all/most of which are for modders to use ahead of time)

The big problem is that you need compatible raws from each set, in which case it's faster (for a user) to just replace them...

For example Rubble (a modding utility I made) allows you to use one set of raws for multiple tilesets, but you need special "definition files" to tell it what tile numbers to use, there is another utility that I know of that does the same basic thing, but once again you need a special definition file.

If you do not have raws that support the tileset you want to use (or don not know how to make the definitions from scratch) you are more-or-less out of luck.

If the mod is not too complicated it may be possible to use some kind of diff program to merge the raws, good luck.
