Have you tried making the parts already or are you just afraid of the  
unknown?
I make all my own libraries, always. If there is a useable footprint  
already existing it always still needs changes anyway.
You will rarely find someone halfway serious with making PCB who is not  
having his own libraries.

So instead of looking for a program that has tube footprints, i believe  
you should rather look for a program that has a decent way of editing  
footprints.
