Start with http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/SPICE/intro.html

It is useful to disable gnetlist hierarchy traversal as described in
http://archives.seul.org/geda/user/Nov-2008/msg00487.html

Then, set up your makefile to turn each subcircuit schematic into a 
circuit file. A handy rule might be:

%.cir : %.sch
    gnetlist -q -g spice-sdb -I --nomunge -o $@ $^

Then, maybe assemble the combined file as follows:

CIRCUITS=top.cir sub1.cir sub2.cir

combined.cir : $(CIRCUITS)
    cat $(CIRCUITS) >combined.cir

So, when you type "make combined.cir" you'll update subcircuit files as 
necessary and combine them into the final product. This is especially 
useful when additional processing (e.g. spicepp.pl) is needed and when 
some subcircuits are generated by some other tool than gnetlist. Simple 
and extremely flexible.

This is a stripped-down version of the more elaborate flow I use for IC 
design, and may require tweaking for your flow. But the important thing 
is that it's easy to customize: you're not trapped by the decisions 
somebody else made to support *their* flow. That's the gEDA way. That's 
why gEDA is so much better than other packages.
