Here's what I've found:

http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~webscool/

This seems to be primarily TCL programs, which should run on virtually any OS.

http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/groups/outlook/estonia.html.gz

This may be out of date, but it talks about a genetic algorithm time-tabler program developed for Estonian schools.

Visual Scheduling System is a DOS program that could conceivably run under DOSEMU.  It's commercial, but the company might be willing
to consider a Linux port.

http://www.webevent.com/

WebEvent is commercial calendaring and scheduling software that runs on Linux.  I don't know that it would be exactly what you're
looking for, but their website lists a number of colleges, universities, and lower-grade schools that use it.

This is a message from a gentleman in Portugal, Carlos Fonseca, whose university was developing such software back in April of last
year.  The website listed is still active, but I haven't heard anything about it since this message.
