Indeed.  Anytime you want to do anything via command line with
bitmapped graphics, the first place you look is Imagemagick:

 http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/quantize/

Or more specifically

 http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/quantize/#monochrome

If you don't find what you want in Imagemagick, the second place you
look is Imagemagick -- it's probably there and you missed it the first
time.
