Why do you need both together ? :-)
Seriously, doesn't Xy-pic provide constructions for all of the curve
types that are possible with curves.sty ?
Furthermore, with Xy-pic you can request labels and breaks at
arbitrary positions along the curve, and get PostScript output
rather than just the series of closely-spaced dots that earlier
packages used.

It is easy to avoid collisions:
\usepackage[...,curve,....]{xy}
\let\xycurve\curve % bind \xycurve to the expansion of Xy's \curve
\let\curve\relax % so that \newcommand doesn't complain
\usepackage{curves}
should let you use \xycurve as you suggest.
Hope this helps,
