I want to convert my design to DXF. Is it possible to perform [MERGE] only on specified layers?

Yes.
When exporting to DXF, go to the option: Entity Output and select "MERGE (Outlines Only)". This will clean and merge your entire design before exporting to DXF.
However if you only want to Merge specified layers, then I would recommend using the ACE Viewer command: Convert to Polygons in menu (Tools | Convert | To Polygon). Please perform the following:
Import Gerber and configure DXF Export.
Review both Import and Export options.
Turn on only layers you wish to perform: Convert to Polygons.
Go to ACE Viewer menu: Tools | Convert | To Polygon...
Review settings and press OK.
Now return to Convert, and export your DXF.
Here's a tutorial movie demonstrating those steps (no sound),
