One way to address this would be to modify icalendar.el to make
it understand org-diary-class.  Start with a function like
calendar--convert-cyclic-to-ical and modify it to
read and convert org-diary-class entries as well.

icalendar.el should really have hooks to allow other functions
to be plugged into it, but it does not.  So you can just amend
one of its functions and define that after you loaded
icalendar.el, or use advice.

Another way would of cause be to put functionality into
org-icalendar to search for and convert such entries.
