gEDA and pcb are each designed to do this. But the approaches the two  
projects chose are very different and incompatible. So integrating  
them is likely to be very difficult.

A better solution for those who want an integrated tool might be a  
PCB plugin that can work directly with gEDA .sch and .sym files in  
the pcb world.
