well, to mount a ISO image on a directory, you do

mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.iso /directory/to/mount

of course you need to do it once for every iso you mount, but that doesn't mean 
it has to take more than one line. i think you can do
mount ( blah blah parameters ) ; mount ( blah blah more parameters ) ; mount ( and so 
on )

uhmm.. or better yet, if you are going to use this frequently, you could make
an alias .. like 

alias mntiso= mount -t iso9660 -o loop

to make things faster.
