Unfortunatly, no. You'll have to write your own loader.
For sample code:
Christoph has a simple ppm loader for 3dtoolkit

The demo sources at http://die.die.ms/ecfh/ have a png loader.

You can check the ecfh hompage to see how it is used.
Note that all targets don't have the GetRayPos capability.

AFAIK The kernel version is not really an issue in ggi (execpt maybe
for inputs?).
