I have just tried converting some Kicad nixie symbols from a kicad library
available from:

http://library.oshec.org/converted/nixie_tube.lib

which included:

IN-18-1-380758-1.sym
IN-18-B1-B_41.0002.sym
NE2-NEON-BULB-DRILL.sym
NE2-NEON-BULB-SMD.sym
ZM1000.sym
ZM1042-1-380758-1.sym
ZM1042-B1-B_41.0002.sym
ZM1042-B13B.sym

The only issue appears to be that some of the pins are not on 100mil
spacing, since Kicad symbols are not required to sit on multiples of 100,
but this is a minor inconvenience since the bulk of the work has been done
for you.

I used my KicadSymbolToGEDA utility to convert them

https://github.com/erichVK5/KicadSymbolToGEDA

There is also the option of converting Eagle footprints, Eagle symbols,
BXL, BSDL, IBIS and symdef definitions to gEDA PCB and gschem formats, with
the following utility, which will have the Kicad conversion functionality
rolled into it in due course, and become an all in one tool:

https://github.com/erichVK5/translate2geda

I will try to refine the pin location behaviour for kicad symbol
conversion, to mirror that which has already been done for the eagle to
geda converter, which has some snap to grid functionality.

I have previously converted Kicad nixie and valve footprints to geda PCB
format with the following utility

https://github.com/erichVK5/KicadModuleToGEDA

and these can be found on gedasymbols.org

So, long story short, if you can find what you need in any of the above
formats, you don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Have fun,

Erich.
