I've not seen any such tool in GDAL itself.
However, FWTools package - a user-friendly GDAL distribution - includes
listgeo and geotifcp utilities, so may be it's enough to consider these
tools as included :-)
Another option I can see is to write a simple script that does the job.
Check pymod/samples/gdalcopyproj.py which copies geotransform metadata
from one dataset to another. I think it's a good base to start.
Cheers
