Script, no, but diskutil should do what you need.

You'd need to put Disk Utility into debug mode to be able to see the Lion partition to then be able to remove it.

Diskutil –list will show "Recovery HD" however.

I know this post is old, but I figured it was worth putting the info here anyway. This was my quick and dirty script and only applies if the OS is loaded on the main disk. Use at your own risk.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/asr adjust -target /dev/disk0s3 -settype Apple_HFS
/usr/sbin/diskutil mergePartitions HFS+ 'Macintosh HD' disk0s2 disk0s3

And as well I will link back to martin's other post as well, which is better than my script. Tidying things up here.
