PCB has an arc command. If you edit the file (pcb/footprint) with a text
editor, you can change the start/end angles to anything you want.
If you set it to 0-360 degrees, you get a circle.

Thank you for the answer, but I cannot find the footprint file, I assume
that you tell me to look in the directory /usr/share/pcb/footprint. I
also searched for footprint file throughout the file system it does not
exist. 
I have fedora 9 and PCB ver. 20080202
