.dmg files are Disk Image files, and open with the Disk Copy or Disk Utility application. Look in the Utilities folder (Inside the Applications folder on your hard disk) and use it to mount the .dmg.
You should use Disk Copy if you are running Mac OS 10.2 or earlier; the Disk Utility program absorbed Disk Copy's functions in OS X 10.3.
If you are missing Disk Copy (10.2) or Disk Utility (10.3) you will need to reinstall that program from your system software CD.
