Ray, For symbols, I think that you might find [http://gedasymbols.org/footprints/] useful, I've found a way to view installed footprints from pcb : "window->Library" shows you the footprints - but I don't know of a way to do this in gschem (where I really need to know which footprints I have).
As for converters: The question has been asked [http://www.nabble.com/gEDA-dev:-edif2kicad-and-eagle--%3E-kicad-converters-td14573079.html] I have seen eagleCAD to gschem converters online such as this one by Mythro [http://blog.mithis.net/archives/pcb/23-eagle2geda-symbol-converter] - but never got any of them to work. They tend to be scripts that someone got to work once, and put out there - there isn't much need to maintain a one-shot script. If it's any consolation, you'd still have to check a converted footprint (especially if the re A while back I looked at the standard for PCB layout: [http://landpatterns.ipc.org/default.asp], the footprint database is free, but the eula for the viewer had lots of anti-reverse engineering clauses. The database is plaintext and I looked at converting it to pcb, but gave up when I realised that in order to open the viewer to check if my conversion was correct, I would violate thier contract.
