National Geographic Topo replacement

Can anyone suggest a replacement for the national geographic topo program?  I have gotten it to run in wine, but it is slow.  I would prefer a native, open solution.  I particularly want to overlay my GPS tracks on a 3D topo map, and generate elevation profiles. 

It seems like GRASS http://grass.baylor.edu/ may do what I'm looking for.  Searching the forums shows that dtw had a pkgbuild for GRASS at one point, although I have been unable to locate it.

If anyone one has experience with GRASS or any other GIS program that might fit my needs, please let me know.

See some of the PKGBUILDs from AEGIS.  GRASS is the most complete open source GIS solution currently, although QGIS is coming along.

Thanks for the heads up on AGEIS.  Lots of good stuff there.  I think I'm going to try out both GRASS and QGIS.
