"Debabelizer" from Equilibrium should do the trick, I use it to open any non-photoshop file. It opens almost anything on the planet, even some weird .TIFFs that photoshop choked on. Its not cheap, I think it was about $320 so converting the PICT files to TIFF is a way easier and cheaper method if you have the time.
