I think you should be able to just double click on it? Tiger mounts iso images as volumes in 10.4, and i am pretty sure it did in 10.3 as well. Based upon what trpmonkey41 said it might be that I have Toast installed. I never gave it much thought.

If nothing else you could always use hdiutil on the command line. hdiutil <iso> -readonly -mountpoint <mount> Though I do not take any responsibility if you do something stupid like try to mount the iso as / or ~ (I have seen both).
