The program `display' will let you do this. Actually, I believe it can
convert many images to the same palette without having to combine them all
and then separate. Best of all, it's written with DJGPP! Check for it here:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/disp*.zip
Note that it's written with DJGPP v1, so you'll have to set some other
environment variables, and some features don't work under Windows or other
DPMI-only environments. Still pretty good, though.
