listgeo does this, http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/listgeo.html

  listgeo
Usage: listgeo [-d] [-tfw] [-proj4] [-no_norm] [-t tabledir] filename

   -d: report lat/long corners in decimal degrees instead of DMS.
   -tfw: Generate a .tfw (ESRI TIFF World) file for the target file.
   -proj4: Report PROJ.4 equivelent projection definition.
   -no_norm: Don't report 'normalized' parameter values.
   filename: Name of the GeoTIFF file to report on.
