Although it does not import drill files, kicad's gerbv does load your gerbers (minus the drill files) and gives you a menu option to save to PCBNEW's format. I don't think there is sufficient information in the gerber files to go backwards in a way that you will always be happy with. Some of this has to do with simple lack of information.
Assuming the word "plan" means what I think it does. The answer to your question is no. That does not mean that you cannot "wish" for improvements in this area however. There is an enhancement request thingy at the sourceforge site for Kicad. I suspect that any serious evolution of gerbv will make it harder to continue to do this, not easier. The internal data structures of gerbv could use a re-thinking, at least if editing is ever going to be supported. Most of the developers are working on what they need, and when they do what others need it is only coincidental. But a user can perhaps find a way to persuade a developer, if considered creatively.
