BRL-CAD supports some AutoCAD functionality via the g-dxf and dxf-g converters.
BRL-CAD does not support the entire format, though, as there are many aspects
of AutoCAD's 2D and drafting primitives that do not make sense when converted
to a solid model format.  For example, the concept of having a "dashed line"
primitive means very little to a solid model, yet it's part of their
(non-solid-model) format.  So that means that your mileage (or kilometerage)
may vary in terms of whether it will import/export what you need.  Patches are
quite welcome to help it support anything that's missing.. ;)

Cheers!
