Yes, David Moberg compiled it for BL3 (and it works in BL2 if you add 
libc6).  http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/blfiles.htm described what you 
need.  I made one base package (netpbmbl.tgz ?) and two others, one for 
BL2 and one for BL3.  Download the one with a 3 in it.  And also 
netpbm.doc and a readme file with instructions and suggested scripts that 
the author of netpbm helped me to write.  The files are in ..../bl (and I 
did not link to blfiles.htm, sorry).  There is also a newer tifftopnm 
(statically compiled) that does multipage tiffs, in the same place.

I posted some other useful programs for BL3 (and BL2) that other people 
helped me to compile - ghostscript 8.50 and lynx 2.8.5.1 and others.

There is also mplayer for BL3 (and BL2) at David's site (search the 
archive)
