In Eagle (at least in the version I use) you just 'change package',
either within the circuit editor or in the PCB editor. My library for
instance has one symbol for all 14-pin PICs when used with external MCLR
and internal OSC, and two packages (DIP and SOIC). For resistors I have
one symbol for various SMD and through-hole packages (including
horizontal and vertical mounting, round holes and oval holes, etc).
