So I wrote some Python scripts to do this. They intercept iTunes' requests for cover art, and allow you to send your own images. They're sent back to iTunes in the same format that the iTMS sends them, so they work just as well. The script includes a basic browser-based interface for selecting images for each album. You can enter your own URLs, or search Amazon for covers.
You'll need to have Python 2.4.3 installed, and not be afraid to edit your hosts file. If you want to search Amazon, you'll also need to sign up for a free Amazon Web Services account. Download the scripts (40KB) (MacOSXHints mirror), and you'll find the instructions in the included README.txt file.
[robg adds: I haven't tested this one yet, and note that you'll have to disable your local webserver in order for this to work, as well as modify the hosts file.]
