There's a section called "Paper Model Making Helpers" at http://www.ss42.com/pt-misc.html maybe you'll find something useful there.
In the end, it's all just a matter of geometry, and visualizing how a 3D object unfolds. You don't *need* computer for that, it's just extremely helpful. Some people make papercrafts in Word: they unfold the model they want to make in their head, then use the basic shapes in Word (where you can input exact measurements) to create the lay-out. I made some of my stuff by hand, then scanning them.
Lots of options, Pepakura is awesome, but you can easily get caught in the limitations that Pepakura has. A lot of great papercrafts have been made without it.
