Yes, use the current version of xloadimage (Xloadimage version 2 patchlevel 02
by Jim Frost).  It supports to following formats:
  FBM Image
  Sun Rasterfile
  CMU WM Raster
  Portable Bit Map (PBM, PGM, PPM)
  Faces Project
  GIF Image
  Utah RLE Image
  X Window Dump
  McIDAS areafile
  G3 FAX Image
  MacPaint Image
  X Pixmap
  X Bitmap

It is available via uunet.uu.net, expo.lcs.mit.edu, and I think any
comp.windows.x archive site...
