The latter is what I'd suggest as well:
create a wrapper getter (and optionally setter) that can handle arrays:

/**
  * @return array
  **/
public function getFileArray() {
	return t3lib_div::trimExplode(',', $this->file);
}

you can access this in fluid like
<f:for each="{myObject.fileArray}" as="filename">
  {filename}
</f:for>


Chances are, that you need this in other places too so I'd prefer this 
solution to an explode viewhelper.

Best,
Bastian
