Of course, if there is a kicad layout, pcb-rnd can load it along with its
embedded netlist with good fidelity.

Pours behave a bit differemtly in kicad (zones), imposing constraints on
the mapping.

You could save in geda PCB format from pcb-rnd but you would lose
information (padstacks, text in footprints, polygons in footprints, etc).

translate2geda can convert kicad symbol libraries to gschem/lepton format
too, if that is helpful.

pcb-rnd can load kicad, eagle and bxl footprints directly, too, along with
protel autotrax, eagle and kicad layouts. Altium import is a WIP.

Regarda,

Erich
