hpcdtoppm works like a charm.  If you are interested, I have a
couple patches at home that make it work on FreeBSD.
Unfortunately, this is not something that should go in the ports
collection because Kodak has threatened legal action against
anyone producing or distributing software to use the photocd
format without a license.  hpcdtoppm was written without by
examining actual photocd files, not with approval and
documentation from Kodak. See "Encyclopedia of Graphic File
Formats" by James D. Murry, published by O'Reilly & Associates
ISBN 1-56592-058-9 for more information.
