indeed, pcb-rnd has full support for the legacy gEDA PCB format, and
can save in kicad format, but a word of caution, kicad's somewhat
broken data model and DRC will not cope well with copper arcs, so
conversion to kicad can not be guaranteed lossless, i.e. see

https://forum.kicad.info/t/set-net-for-arc-on-copper-layer/31220/5

Regards,

Erich
