ICSP stands for 'In Circuit Serial Programming' and is a way to program and debug the PIC without removing it from the UPCB. Even if you don't plan on programming or debuging the board with a PIC programmer or debugger, it is still highly recommended so you can easily recover from a bad flash.
The ICSP connector is a 6 pin male Molex KK type header. The header is keyed; the matching connector can only go in one way. It does this with a plastic wall on one edge. We need to make certain we install the ICSP connector facing the right direction. The side of the connector with the wall needs to be on the side the 'ICSP' letters are silk screened, what we've been calling the left side.

I just received a shipment of 3 Netduino boards and 3 XBee Shields. It seems that the ICSP is REQUIRED for the operation of the XBee modules, unless you hack some alternative power onto them.
In that case, it should be no problem to solder some headers on
EDIT: ICSP is NOT required for XBee use. It may be required for the XBee shield, but the XBee modules do not require ICSP access.
