Hans,

Take a look at "PCB-Tools", in the contributed software section of 
FreePCB <http://www.freepcb.com/>'s Downloads page. It will convert 
RS-274X Gerber to a PNG file. If you really need JPG, you can use a free 
tool like Paint.net to convert pngs to jpgs.

There's also gerb2tiff from Adam Seychell. As the name suggests, it produces TIFFs. If you need JPG you could easily convert the TIFF.
