Ok, Found out how to do it with inkscape.
here is a thread on a relevant forum:
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8826
On this thread it recommends an extension for inkscape that will export your .svg file to a series of x,y data points.
To get this to work with a .jpeg, embed the .jpeg into an open inkscape document and then trace it. Save this traced image as an .svg. Reopen in inkscape and run the script, a popup will appear with the x,y coordinates which you then copy into an excel file. Save that and then import it using the function in inventor. If everything goes right, then you will get your image in the sketch.
I tried it with a very simple image and it seemed to work.
edit:The process took me about ten minutes including installing the extension. I could have drawn a simple image in a sketch in that time. It's cool, but evaluate the amount of effort that you will putting into this process. Also, as a side note, I hope that your computer has a lot of RAM, tracing a complex .jpeg eats gigs of RAM for breakfast.
Good luck
