Take a look at the gEDA suite for Linux. I have it running on FreeBSD too.
Schematic capture looks like it outputs every netlist format.
DJ Delorie has an autorouter
There are hooks for FPGA Verilog too.

Before leaving the RX01 topic, note that Chuck's design was implemented
using the Cadsoft Eagle years ago and is available at:
http://www.wildharecomputers.com/download/rx0x/rx01-b.zip
A minor update is at:
http://www.wildharecomputers.com/download/rx0x/rx01-d.zip
The idea of putting an SX-28 processor in control of the communications and
using a native USB interface resulted in the (untested) derivative design
at:
http://www.wildharecomputers.com/download/rx0x/rx-usb.zip
and notes and general comments for these designs are at:
http://www.wildharecomputers.com/download/rx0x/notes.txt
And I would seriously consider Diptrace (
www.diptrace.com) if I had to look
at CAD software today, especially compared to Eagle's interface.
Okay, I focus on Data General Novas, Eclipses and MVs, but I teethed on
PDP-8s before 1969... ;-)

Where is this information on the net?
Chuck's project is detailed here:
