Pili, there might be a way of doing what you want, in theory. The MIF
Reference online manual distributed with FrameMaker has an appendix which
documents the way graphic info is encoded as facets in MIF, so you should be
able to write a program to extract and decode the facet data for your chosen
graphic format. This method would involve just identifying and extracting
data from a text file (the MIF), then manipulating it in a defined set of
ways (e.g. preceding lines with &, escaping backslash characters in graphic
data and encoding non-ascii bytes as hex) in to restore the original graphic
file format. I don't imagine it should be beyond a competent programmer to
do, and when I think about it, I am surprised that (AFAIK) nobody has done
this, or at least released a free program to do it. 

If, like me, you are not a competent programmer, or if it is for a quick
one-off job, you will need to find a different approach. 

Sheila Carlisle asked, apropos of exporting HTML and therefore graphics,
whether any formats other than GIF are possible. The answer is that you can
export all graphics in a document to GIF, JPEG, EPS or TIFF. But there are
severe limitations which means that this technique is probably of limited
use for most people. For example, you must choose one of these formats and
export all graphics to that format. From memory, EPS does not work very
well, if at all, on artwork imported by copy; it works best on FM-drawn
vector art and equations. And the bitmap formats export at screen
resolution, RGB only.
