Libtiff doesn't contain helper programs for that. With the almost universally available netpbm package, you can reduce to 8 bits with something along the lines of "tifftopnm image.tiff |pamdepth 255 |pnmtotiff -color -truecolor >tmp.tiff; tiffcp -c jpeg tmp.tiff output.tiff". (Funny that pnmtotiff doesn't have a JPEG option, by the way.) There are many other imaging packages that can do this for you from the command line, such as imagemagick, graphicsmagick and vips.
