use eagle cadsoft easy cheap and free version is available . it generates CAM files . and views them . not so sure if can convert to PCB.

Also Altium Software . cadence orcad and mentor graphics . note these software are very expensive and hard to use.

I have seen this some one was doing using CAM350 tool..It is little bit difficult to convert Gerber to PCB..you need to model lot of things in cam tool to do this reverse engineering.

CAM350 is a good tool for reverse engineering although it is not easy for using. You can build parts but can't easy manage netlist.
