If you want pro results i can do the box in 3D Box Shot Pro for you.
I just need the images you want on it. :)
Make the images the same size you want the

I can fit the box to the images after.

Gimp can definitely do it. This is what I used to make my book covers for my layer mask ebook as well as my replacing picnik book!
