@Todd_Morgan - A script would offer more flexibility than an action, however, both should be possible.

 

Do the separate source PSD files already contain artboards , or just layers and groups?

The PSDs no artboard.

The challenge is automating the layout of the artboards, especially if they are different sizes.
