The 2N3906 pinout is dependent on the package. I believe the TO92 is
EBC (123) and the SOT23 is BEC (123).

What I do in gschem is have symbols called BJT-NPN-EBC.sym and
BJT-NPN-BCE.sym. You still need to verify that the footprint matches the
schematic symbol.

If you like "heavy" symbols you could create a 2N3906-TO92.sym or a
2N3906-SOT23.sym that has a footprint attribute and the corresponding
pinout.
