If the image is a filesystem image and in yaffs format (like the filesystems in android devices tend to be) you can use unyaffs to extract the contents.

If the image is a boot image (like recovery.img), you are looking at merged kernel + initrd package. I haven't looked in to taking one of these apart, but it shouldn't be too hard =)

Then there is the baseband image which is a special image for the phone itself. I haven't even tried to guess the internals for this one =)
