My kicad to gEDA utility with a bit of work could do export to kicad after
reading geda files.

Although http://madparts.org/  looks like a more advanced possible
contender for a universal format. I am thinking of getting my hands dirty
and helping him with a GEDA export module.

My latest standalone utility exports to either legacy kicad or geda - there
really isn't that much difference between them, especially if using mm
units.
