There is a more complete package named GEDA that it use PCB as its layout tool but I have not use it never.
It is also free to download http://www.geda.seul.org/
There exist also eagle for linux
And xcircuit is a cool light programm I use but more general and not only shematic oriented
(if with "compatible" you mean that you want to use your orcad shematics in this programms (or reverse), I dont thing that you can with any of the above...)
gEDA is not so much an EDA package as it is a collection of tools which mostly work well together. I've been using it recently for PCB design. The way that works is, you make a schematic in gschem and specify the PCB footprint of each device. Then you run a command line program to generate a starting PCB with a netlist to give you a rat's nest that you can route.
It works, but not easily. If you just want SPICE-compatible netlists, though, gschem will work acceptably.
