The deformations utility should be able to take care of this.  You'd
set up a job using Utilities->Deformations, which has the following
structure.

Composition
. Inverse
. . Composition
. . . Imported _sn.mat
. . . . Parameter File    [Your sn.mat file]
. . . . Voxel sizes    [NaN NaN NaN]
. . . . Bounding box  [NaN NaN NaN; NaN NaN NaN]
. . Image to base inverse on [Your subject's image]
Save as
Apply to    [Your MNI space mask image]
Output destination [up to you]
Interpolation    Nearest neighbour


Best regards,
-John
