I think ogr2ogr does what I want - it looks like it has a driver for
putting the contents of various formats into database (including MySQL
which is already being used for the wildlife database) and then I can
probably get the coordinates I need to draw the county border and
lakes/rivers from there.

With respect to other GIS apps - after building Fedora 9 versions of
qt3,qt4,sip,PyQT4 - and grass from a spec file (slightly modified)
grabbed from a Fedora SVN server, I was able to get qgis to build from a
slightly modified spec file that targets Fedora.
Haven't played with grass or qgis yet, though, but hopefully they aren't
too hard to figure out and I can start learning more about GIS.
