gschem does. A pin can have zero length. I used this feature for my 
dual-diode-in-a-SOT23-package symbol:

http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/kai_martin_knaak/symbols/discretes/diodes/flyback_SOT23.sym

Note, the hot spot of the pin in the middle of the symbol is not 
visible in the previwe on gedasymbols.org. But it shows clearly in 
gschem as a bright red square mnarker.
