There's no software specifically designed to work with wordpress, but the templates consists of php files, so any php editor would do the trick.
I have worked on my wordpress themes in notepad++ which has worked well for me.

You can try using a regular web design program like Dreamweaver or Nvu to code the designs then refer to the Wordpress Codex for Wordpress PHP tags to convert a regular web design to a wordpress compatible one.

Well, the best tool right know is new Dreamweaver CS5. It now has full support for CMS solutions but guess what, it's not free (not even near) 
On the other hand you can always get a free template that has similar layout to one you are trying to make. Change is a little in PHP editor and then customize the design by working with CSS. That's the technique I used a lot. Then, when you have several of your own layouts than you can make wireframes and just make CSS for different designs.
