Howdy,

I've used

\usepackage{epstopdf}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1
  `dirname #1`/`basename #1 .tif`.png}

along with the --shell-escape option (to allow external processing)  
with pdflatex.

If you leave off the .tif in the \includegraphics command it will  
only do the conversion once.

Note: the last two lines of the command should be on the same line  
with a space between the trailing #1 and the leading `dirname on the  
second line.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
