No, bzrmerge does not cherry pick in any sense of the word.  It does
a merge.  The only difference with "bzr merge" is that it does it with
more care, using hints from the commit messages to try and auto-resolve
some conflicts.

There's nothing special in bzrmerge that should prevent it from working
in another VCS, so long as that VCS has a notion of "branch merge", basically.
E.g. I'm pretty sure we could have written a corresponding cvsmerge.el,
and AFAIK some other project has written something similar for svn.
