Not a single command, but a small combination of utils will do.
[Solution for use with a Bourne shell, e.g. bash;
 a (t)csh solution is left as an exercise to the reader]
1. 'cd' to the appropriate directory
2. Do the following:
   for file in * ; do
     mv $file `echo $file | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
   done

Hope this helps,
