I need to limit access to merge changes into the trunk to specific individuals. Is there any way to limit merge rights on specific folders in subversion? I don’t want to block merging from branch to branch, only into the trunk.

Can’t you make the trunk read-only for those specific people, using Subversion’s access control mechanisms?
In your
svnaccessfile:would allow you and Chris to make changes (including merges) to the trunk of ‘MyProject’, while only giving read permissions to Albert and Bernard.
