Assuming your are using the pricey addon for decent ciphers then 
freeswan will do what you
need. Linux client to PIX. I'm not aware of any GUI based client 
although you could use
webmin to config freeswan.

Be aware though that cisco's interpretation of IPsec is a bit flexible.
Freeswan is a bit of a black art but very stable. I've got a freeswan 
VPN with 282 days uptime
so far.
