In fact, the PBM+ utilities support reading MacIntosh PICT2.
I think you'll have to grab the beta-test version, though.

BTW, I posted a patch which would make the latest picttoppm
be able to handle 24 and 32 bit PICT2 images and while it
worked on a few test images someone sent me, I haven't heard
any reports claiming other successes or failures.  So
what's the scoop?  Has anyone actually applied the patch
and used it?

In anticipation of any "Gosh, I didn't see that but it sure sounds
useful" requests, you can get the latest version of picttoppm.c
from cs.ubc.ca in /src/picttoppm.c.
