There is a set of utilities that I believe comes with X that converts various
image formats to pbm, portable bit map, and back.  Sun raster files and MacPaint
are two of the formats.  If it didn't come with your X (or you don't have X)
contact the author:

I used the raster to pbm and pbm to macpaint to get a few images off of our
suns here.  Hope this helps.
