Certainly, though how are the pictures stored?
If you have it stored in a the form of image numbers (with leading zeros so they can be alphabetically sorted) then you can so something like...
convert `ls image_*.png | tail` animation.gif
The line: ls image_*.png | tail just lists the 10 files the last 10 alphabetically sorted filenames in the current directly matching the given patten, and saves it as a GIF animation.
However remember GIF is a very low quality format and not meant for real world images, so the result will not be very good. You may be better of using a program like mencode to create a proper movie file.
