uudecode/uuencode is standard unix /usr/bin armoury, of course.

ftp.isu.edu :: /pub/figlet/util/uue.tar.Z (19883) and uue.uue (29736 bytes)

This, of course, is the offical figlet site, and this version apparently
handles figlet fonts much better than most other uuen/decoders.

Versions for dos are available lots of places, but try SimTel (or
its mirrors):

oak.oakland.edu :: /SimTel/msdos/decode/uuexe532.zip

(and a few others in that directory, but this one is
recommended).

Don't know about the mac, but as Bob says, it's available.
