I do have to use PIC's in various project and each time I have to suffer through hacking existing code to make things work. To program the PICs I use ponyprog. There is a linux binary version available and is quite easy to setup. You can use parallel or serial port. A while back I read that a linux version/work-alike for mplab was in the works, I never followed up on its progress.
