You can mount an iso and copy files from it.

First create a memory disk device to contain the file system:

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/your.iso -u md0

Then mount the file system as you would mount a CD-ROM:

mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0   /mnt

After you finish, first unmount then detach the md0 device:

umount /mnt
mdconfig -d -u md0
