gdal2tiles. Make an image GDAL can read, and gdal2tiles can chop the images up and put them into a TMS-like structure, with a pre-built OpenLayers map all set up for you. (No need for TileCache, as recommended by Gregor, but it can do the same thing, and might be better if your images are *really* giant, on the order of multiple gigabytes, since you don't need to pre-cache everything... IT will generate tiles as you drag.)
