You need something that understands colour profiles.
There are probably only two ways.
The easiest method is to use tiff2pdf (part of libtiff-tools) and then
use the lastest version of acroread (not any other viewer) to look at
it.
If you need more control, then you must use tifficc, which is part of
the excellent little cms colour management library.
You also will need to download a set of standard colour profiles from
Adobe - just google for it.
then use this command:
tifficc -i /path/to/cmyk_image_profile -o /path/to/monitor_rgb_profile \
-p path/to/cmyk_proof_intent_profile cmyk_image.tif \
rgb_image.tif
