Yes. but first:
<disclaimer>I'm not an image formats guru by any mean, all I state is 
based on my limited experience producing documents.</disclaimer>

I don't embed PDF documents (various pages) in other PDF documents. I 
just use the "export" function of diagram editors (inkscape, xfig, etc.) 
to produce a "PDF", vector based version of the diagram.

with most diagram editors; export to EPS formats same as PDF.
