I have two ceiling light fixtures on two separate wall switches that I would like to merge into one light fixture controlled by the two separate wall switches. Do I just make one of the wall switches a three-way? I am trying to avoid having to fish new wires if possible.

To answer your first question, yes. Almost all light fixtures have a white and black wire for each individual socket. Simply send one to each switch.
Well you will need a "traveler" (extra wire) between the switches for a 3-way. There are a couple of different ways to wire a 3-way here but if your walls are closed and you don't want to open them then the answer is, no.
