If you edit the component properties in eeschema and fill the footprint field with the appropriate footprint name, you can use the netlist exported by eeschema directly in pcbnew.

Maybe pros already know this, but how does one insure that the name in the footprint field will match the list it is looking for? For example: SOT-23 or SOT23 or sot23? SOIC8 or 8SOIC or SOIC-8 or 8-SOIC? Thanks, apluscw
