For CNC milling we have code such as Grbl Controller in the PC, and Grbl itself in an Arduino, and these handle the appropriate G-code files. Is there an equivalent package to handle Excellon files and drive a 3-axis drilling machine?

No, there is no existing Arduino library to parse Excellon format drill files in order to control a drilling machine. Looking at the specification it looks to be very similar to G Code, and some brief googling shows that there are various utilities for converting it to G Code that could be run from something like grbl.
