Nuno,

I believe there is a utility for splitting big files into tiles using GDAL
floating around somewhere, but I didn't write it and don't really know
much about it.

However, it isn't too hard to write a script to call gdalwarp or
gdal_translate to split a big file into tiles, while potentially resampling
and/or reprojecting.

  http://www.gdal.org/

Check the gdalwarp and gdal_translate utliity pages.

Best regards,
