The "montage" tool from the ImageMagick suite can do that. It has an 
array of command line options; you would use it somehow like this:

montage -tile rowsxcolums file1.jpg file2.jpg ... destination.jpg

By default it will scale the images but you can give a -geometry option 
to avoid that. It will also put a white border between the images but 
there is a -border option or maybe you have to add +0+0 to teh -geometry 
option or so, I cannot remember but I know that I once used it to stitch 
a lot of tiles. You can of course run it specifying "*.jpg" as your 
sources, provided the names are such that the first image is the top 
left one and the last is the bottom right one. (There is a command line 
option for column-first rather than row-first ordering I believe.)
