So, we have a first installment of PNG working.

First off, note XAW still won't work with PNG.  If you're using the CVS 
XAW client then either don't grab these latest changes, back up your XPM 
files in ~/.freeciv, or grab xpm.tgz from the incoming directory [1] and 
untar it into ~/.freeciv.
These changes should work with gui-gtk and gui-gtk-2.0.  As always, 
report any problems.
We still need to convert the isotrident files to PNGs.  Since these will 
never (in the forseeable future) be used with the XAW client, we don't 
need to make them paletted PNGs.  So I could just run 'convert' over 
them.  Or is there a better conversion mechanism?
Other tilesets may also begin to convert.  From the point of view of a 
tileset author, the immediate advantage of using PNG is that the windows 
client can use your tilesets unmodified.
