Not with Gimp.  If you have ImageMagick installed, you can write up a 
shellscript to do everything for you.  It may be slow, but it'll get the job 
done.  Run it from the same directory as the photos.  Tweak the variables to 
your liking.  You may want to change the -quality setting in CONVERT_OPTIONS, 
and perhaps FROM and TO, depending on what extension you're using (I use this 
with other formats, too).

#!/bin/sh

CONVERT_OPTIONS='-geometry 640x480 -quality 80'
FROM=jpg
TO=jpg

if [ ! -s "640/" ]
then
  mkdir 640/
fi

for i in 'ls *.$FROM';
  do
    _640=`basename $i $FROM`640.$TO
    echo convert $CONVERT_OPTIONS $i 640/$_640
    convert $CONVERT_OPTIONS $i 640/$_640
done;
<EOF>

Little hack-together.  Have fun ;)
