Does anybody know if there is a version of FRED that includes the ships from both FS1 and FS2? I loved some of the older ships, and would like them in my FS2 levels.

Do you know what ship.tbl is?

FS1 models work in FS2 just fine, but to get FS1 ships in FS2, you'd need to manually transfer them from the FS1 files to your mod's folder.
You'd have to copy the ships' models, maps (from the FSPort MediaVPs Assets VP) and table entries (copy the original ship table entries from the FSPort to your mod's shp-tbm, and then add any changes from the MediaVPs Root and Assets shp-tbms; check out the Ships.tbl entry on the wiki (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Ships.tbl) to make sure you add the MediaVPs table additions to the FSPort original table entries in the right order) to YourModFolder/data/the appropriate subfolders.
If any part of that doesn't make sense, please ask me to explain.

That's a very complicated way of doing something that can be achieved just as well by just having fsport and its MVPs as a dependency of your own mod.

Wouldn't that overwrite FS2's own ships.tbl with FSPort's?

Yes.
