Merged mining is the best idea IMO: http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool - mine BTC, DVC, IXC and NMC at the same time.

 I mean if I only mine namecoin can I mine more? I have some saved up but not enough to withdraw from btc-e

It is possible.  You won't get more for doing it... well maybe some infinitesimal amount by less longpolls and whatever the stratum equivalent is for restarting when a block is found.   So no real point to it.

 Is it possible? Or do I have to mine bitcoin and get namecoin with it ?
It is possible but not profitable because namecoin has the highest hashrate/market volume.
Only merged mining with bitcoin is profitable and doesn't require additional work. If you mine only namecoins you will not mine more than by a merged mining.

You won't mine them any faster if you only solo mine NM.  Merge mine them.

Doesn't seem much point when you can merge mine and get both at the same rate as if you were only doing one.
