A post by Glenn Davis to webdesign-l back in 1999
might give you what you need. His post in its 
entirety follows. Hope it helps.

Subject: [WD]: Stopping image/bandwidth theft

An unnamed recent conversation reminded me of this bit
of code.  This code,
when applied to an Apache 1.3+ server will stop people
from directly
linking to images on your website.  It works by
checking the refering page
reference and then only allowing refering pages from
your domain to have
the image.  Pages outside your domain simply get a
broken image icon.

SetEnvIf Referer www\.yourdomain\.com
intra_site_referral
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$">
    order deny,allow
     deny from all
     allow from env=intra_site_referral yourdomain.com
    allow from all
</FilesMatch>


Stick this in your srm.conf in apache 1.3.0 to 1.3.3
and in your httpd.conf
in 1.3.4 (You ARE using the latest version, right?)
