Migrating from Cadence Allegro
If you have the time, spend a half-hour to check out the KiCad-StepUp-FreeCad RF examples. Plugin for some RF tools.. If you can get a DXF or similar 2d export of the footprint, you can feed it through StepUp->KiCad. Test it out for yourself, it will only cost you your time. All these run on Windows and Linux, support Python scripting, and use plain text files you can parse and/or manipulate directly.

How would one route a driven guard in kicad. Is there a way to tell kicad should remove solder mask over the trace?
I don't know of any way to do it "natively" in KiCad, but the RF tools plugins includes a "solder mask expander" that should do what you want.

OrCAD -> KiCAD
You are welcome. When you get used to it, I suggest to add some plugins, such as Interractive BOM, Via Stitching and RF Tools
