For security updates, you can go through TAC, and get the updates even
if you have no contract.

If there's neither a convenient security update nor a contract, then
it's getting interesting - theoretically, you can buy IOS updates.  In
practice, nearly no cisco partner/reseller seems to understand *how* to 
do that.  At some time in the past, we bought "12.0" for all our 
routers (then ip-only, for something like 23 EUR/box, but we wanted 
to do it properly), and it was an interesting excercise.
