Converting RAW pics to JPEGS on an imac without photoshop.

Just wanted to know if this is possible. I accidentally had my Nikon Digital SLR set to take pictures in raw files, due to a school assignment earlier. So at my halloween party, about half of my pics are in RAW format (I realized later in the night what I'd done), which I can't really do anything with, i.e. post on facebook, send to other people easily, etc. Now, I don't own photoshop, but the computers at my college have it, so worst case scenario, I could convert them to JPEGs on monday.

What I'm asking, out of curiosity, though, is if there's a way to convert them to JPEGs without photoshop. I'm running Leopard on my Macbook. When I "save as" each image, the only save options are "PDF, Photoshop, PNG, and TIFF." So is there a way to convert them to JPEGs?

    Just import them into iPhoto, and then export them as JPEGs.
