The non-ability to have text in footprints is a known non-feature. 
And yes, it is on my wish list, too ;-)

pstoedit can convert postscript to pcb format. 
This is, what I would try:

1) Write the desired text in inkscape

2) Save as encapsulated postscript (epsi) with text converted to paths

3) Convert to pcb format with pstoedit

4) Import to pcb via "load-layout-data-to-paste-buffer"

Hope, this helps,
