For text in symbols (pin names, pin numbers, attributes) there is a choice of
9 anchor points 
(http://www.geda.seul.org/docs/current/fileformats/node12.html).
I usually create the symbols with a script and set the appropriate anchor
point for the text.

At a freedog meeting we discussed having a fine placement grid for text (maybe
25 or 50 mil) and a coarse placement grid (100mil) for components,
nets, etc. After a
symbol is placed text position could be fine tuned without changing the main
grid.
