Preview App in Mac OS X has now a very nice feature. I think it should be implemented for Evince too:

PDF Manipulation in Preview
Re-create your PDF as you like. Move individual pages around, or remove pages altogether. You can even combine PDFs with a simple drag and drop.

I wonder if this could be done using PDFTK as a backend. It seems like that would make this a relatively simple task, though you're likely left with two options:

1. process file through pdftk and save with every alteration made
2. process file through pdftk and save file when done, but save all alterations in memory while still open

I personally like option 2.
