I don't think so.  It's worth suggesting to Manifold


 If you want a free (and easy!) way to do this, get R and install the 
rgdal package.  Let me know if this suits and I'll help - it involves a 
couple of downloads to install R and get the packages. www.r-project.org
 Then you could export the surface from Manifold to FLT, read it in R 
and export to TIF:

library(rgdal)
d <- readGDAL("surf.flt")
writeGDAL(d, "surf.tif")
