There are a couple of python cad programs with open source to look at
that do some .ps and .dxf output, and no importing.  Pythoncad and cadvas
source code might be helpful in learning curve to get PCB to write out .dxf.

Gerber is just few types of output shapes in the PCB case we use, since  the 
only apertures used are circles and squares.  Lines, arcs, and aperture sizes, 
aperture round or square are all that is needed to draw a PCB in .gbr or .ps or 
.dxf.
