There's a suntools program called "touchup", but it largely dumps core for
me.

There's a new "bitmap" program in the contrib directory on expo that's
much better for big images, although it too seems to like to core dump.
It does zooming, but the redraw of the unzoomed image is pretty slow, because
it seems to use XDrawRectangle() to draw the bits.  XDrawPoint() or
zotting an image would no doubt be faster, but such mods are beyond my
ken.

The "raster" program from the Andrew suite (x11r4 tape 4 + 8 patches) is
decent, but limited.
