I think that most packages should be able to do this. Pulsonix, which I use, 
  has an option when generating Gerber files to 'step and repeat'.

Even if the software does not do step and repeat as such, you can copy/paste 
to create multiple copies of a board.

However, most PCB suppliers prefer to do this themselves
