Ben, 

I see that the TIFF tools directory has a gif2tiff, but no corresponding 
tiff2gif.  If you want to avoid LZW compression in the output gif file
you could use libungif for writing the gif image:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/libungif

I see the libungif project also now has giflib available, the
version that does do LZW compression. 

If you just want a utility that does the operation, then lots exist.
I imagine the imagemagick "convert" command would do the
trick.  My GDAL library and utilities also handles this but is likely
more baggage than you would want. 

Good luck,
