QuickTime can do it -

'Open Image Sequence ...' in the 'File' menu of Quicktime Player [but  
you probably have to fork out the rude 'extra' $$$ for Quicktime Pro  
before that menu item works, most of the useful functions in  
QuickTime are the same]

It is only the convenience of a menu items in the player that you are  
paying for, QuickTime is still the same even if you don't pay the  
ransom ... eg you can make a little applescript to do most things,  
'open image sequence <filename> frames per second 25' is the command  
for opening an image sequence, <filename> is the first file of a  
numbered series.
