Hopefully you have the icons in PNG format? If so, open them in PhotoShop and resize them to 128x128. Export them to Iconographer and save them as .icns.

Use Pic2Icon to generate the "thumbnail".

If you have them as .ico use Iconverter..... but your quality will probably suffer.

Good Luck!!

Here's the method I've used for Mattahan's very cool Umicons and GANT sets:
On my PC, I export all the icons as 128x128 PNG's using Axialis IconWorkshop. Then on my Mac, I run those PNG's through Pic2Icon to create resource forks containing them as Mac icons.
After that I've done something you won't have to.. I created a shell scripts that makes the PNG's be empty files, while retaining the resource fork (Mac icon), then I remove the .png extension. I do this because I like being able to browse my icon archive while having the Finder set to column view mode, so that when I highlight an icon, it will show up in the preview column, instead of the contents of the PNG.
Hope this was somewhat clear

At the Iconographer site, you can download Iconographer, a nice icon editor. It also lets you convert Windows icons into Classic or Mac OS X icons.
