There is a program from Wavefront, available as part of
the "GameWare" or "Advanced Visualizer" bundles called
"Model" that has the capability to read in polygonal models
in OBJ format and interactively reduce the polygon counts
to either a fixed number of polygons or a fixed resolution.

Alias also has a polygon reduction tool built
into their modelling system.

If you want to roll your own there are a couple of good SIGGRAPH
papers ('93? '94?) that have some interesting algorithms.

Note that there is no one "good" solution for all kinds of models.
