No, you don't.  You can use various online tools [1] to create the icns 
from a png or svg image, and an app bundle is nothing more than a 
directory containing a bunch of files in a specific hierarchy (as 
discussed in the "anatomy of an applicaiton" link you provided in your 
mail).

The only thing you might need a Mac for is making a disk image, but 
there's no rule that says you *have* to distribute your app as a 
dmg...you could just as easily zip it up instead.

You'll still want to test it on a Mac to make sure it all works, though...
