Following the idea I have on this matter, ImageMagick[*] could be used
to convert TIFF to PNG and then, the PNG stream would be displayed by
the rasterer, which on GNOME will probably be gdk-pixbuf based... (MacOS
will probably be QuickTime based for example).
ImageMagick for conversion and gdk-pixbuf for rastering. Both uses
libpng :-)

[*] or libtiff as it is used by IM already.
