This isn't a utility as such, but still:

#!/usr/bin/perl

require 'IndexFile.pm';

my $path = shift;

my $index = Cyrus::IndexFile->new_file($path);

while (my $record = $index->next_record()) {
  print "$record->{Uid}\n";
}

I've written enough little tools to unpack parts of the index file
that I got sick of it and just wrote something that can pack and
unpack the whole thing!  Yay for evil little perl utilities.  It's
not safe against index file format changes, but it's quite extensible
in that case, just add some more formats to the start of the file :)
