My wife and I may move from 2 Mini's to one new iMac. When can I use the Migration Assistant in each user account from each of our time machine backups so we can keep our separate iTunes and iPhoto libraries? Or is there an easier way to do this?

Migration assistant should handle this perfectly.

So when I go into each user account just transfer the music, photos etc and not the programs?

Or, go ahead and have migration assistant move the programs, too. It's smart enough to not replace programs that already exist, and to never "downgrade" a program.
