Gene: Have you looked at gCNCCAM? I normally use qCAD to generate my part, then gCNCCAM to turn it into gcode. gCNCCAM will automatically generate multiple passes to handle deeper cuts than one Z-axis pass allows! You just specify Z-axis depth of cut and target (final) depth and gCNCCAM generates the passes necessary to accomplish it.
Neither program is super sophisticated, but both work fine for my needs - AND they both run under Linux (10.04 here). May not suit you, but I like them! Let us know what you settle on and why (I might even consider changing!).
