.icns
XCode contains an app to create them
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Icon Composer.app

There are different containers for different sized icons.
Just drag and drop the right sized icons you created in the right containers and save as .icns .
The images you drag and drop can be .ico but also .png for example.

Bumping an old post...
It seems Icon Composer has been dropped from recent versions of XCode...
What's the next best way to generate .app icon files? I have various sized PNGs, but they don't seem to work as .app icons.

There are tools available at the app store.
If you want to do it using Apple tools, you can use the terminal command
iconutil
