Given that ImageMagick's display can display them, I'd bet that
convert(1) can pull this off, at least with a bit of coaxing.  The
manpage shows an example for converting a postscript document into
individual fax pages; I'd bet it would work just right if you just
specified the multi-page tiff as the source file in place of the
postscript:

convert document.tiff fax:page

(untested)

good times,
