Alan,

Take a look at GFig, a vector drawing component built into the Gimp.
It's accessible via Filters -> Render -> GFig and behaves much like
XFig.

For knot-like shapes, Spyrogimp might be your thing. That's available
from Script-Fu -> Render -> Spyrogimp. It's a bit unfriendly (no
preview, for instance) but there is a short guide here:
