Have you tried raoulduke's script (http://www.mail-archive.com/kicad-users@yahoogroups.com/msg05013.html)? If you work your way through the thread he tells you how to get an image file (in the form of a PBM) into any layer. It'll take a lot of messing about and you may not get you usable Gerbers, but I guess it's worth a try.
