I do not know about a program for converting units, but most generators
can handle arbitrary units for input, at least my one can do that.

Here is a list of available generators

In the generated footprint files, you can use units too. If no unit is
given, the default unit is 0.01mil. But you can specify dimensions by
appending units, i.e 200um or so.
