Yes, this is the least effort path I know of at this time.

John Luciani has some scripts documented for making
step and repeat schematic and layout in unison.

I used them and found I could even read, understand, and modify them
successfully.  Could be a starting point for scripting the above steps.
See http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/john_griessen/ for examples, links.
