I would add to Joshua's question "could someone point out a useful
resource that explains exactly how icons are used"? Specifically,
I'm curious about how the various sizes are used in the Finder, as
well as the various NSWorkspace methods.
It looks like the Finder just uses the largest resolution version in
my .icns file and scales it to whatever size is needed. I'm curious
if I put a lot of work into making smaller versions look good if it
would help. Ideally, it would choose the closest resolution
available and scale from that.

Thanks Finlay, for the pointer to NSWorkspace.
I've got that returning me an icon but it doesn't look
so hot at 16x16. I'm assuming that NSWorkspace is
returning me the 32x32 icon and the NSImageCell is
scaling it down to 16x16. Is there a way to get load the 16x16 icon?

RTFM NSWorkspace.
I have located a function in Carbon "GetIconRefFromFile" which
returns an IconRef.
Is that IconRef usable in Cocoa for displaying on the screen?
Yes, indirectly, but you should probably use the NSWorkspace method.
