Dia shapes do not contain icons, they just reference icons. So
you should have your icons right next to the shapes. Not
that not all Dia objects are shapes - so there's an exception to that rule.
If the convention xyz.png belongs to xyz.shape does not hold true in your
case, please look into your shape files: <icon></icon> encapsulates your 
icon name.
This was "the first scenario".

I could also image a second scenario: You've created some shapes on your own
(or obtained shapes without icons) and would like to generate icons from 
the shape itself (like
Dia does when you export a drawing as a shape). I'm not aware of any 
tool that would do this,
but it should be possible to generate 1-shape-diagrams and export them 
as PNGs.

Is your question answered? If not, are you dealing with the first or 
second scenario?
