You can use BITAND(arg1, arg2) - see the SQL reference for more information. 
Shame there's no BITOR to go with it... See also UTL_RAW package and functions 
BIT_AND, BIT_OR, BIT_XOR and BIT_COMPLEMENT. You just need to be careful with 
datatypes, I seem to remember.

I played with UTL_RAW quite recently, but on a previous site so I don't have it 
to hand, sorry.
