One solution would be to use the MODIS Conversion Toolkit. However,
it does require that you have both ENVI and IDL. Here is a link to
where you can download it:

http://www.ittvis.com/codebank/search.asp?FID=485

It's batch accessible, so you can process a large number of files
using an IDL program. The output is ENVI format, though, so you'd
have to include an additional step in your program that converts the
output to GeoTIFF using ENVI_OUTPUT_TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT.
