I think this should work, but you have to use Terminal.app.
Code:
hdiutil attach -readwrite isofile.iso

You should be able to open .iso files just with DiskImageMounter. No need to use the Terminal. Just Get Info on the file, and set Open With to DiskImageMounter. Then, double-click the file.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

On a slightly related note and sorry to hijack the thread but is there any way to make Disk Utility save disk images as ISO format instead of DMG?
