I have bee wondering the same thing for a while. I have seen that Freeciv's 
current map generator claims to use fractal algorithms (
http://www.freeciv.org/lxr/source/server/mapgen.c?v=cvs#L793).

I searched the web and found a page that might be interesting. A quote from the 
page: "This first image is fractally generated terrain". Maybe you should ask 
the author of that stuff:

  <http://www.oroboro.com/rafael/project/terrain.html>

Here is a page with a GPL'd "Fractal Worldmap Generator":

  <http://www.lysator.liu.se/~johol/fwmg/fwmg.html>

(by a coincidence, this page is hosted by the computer club at my university)

This is another page that might be of interest:
