Or without installing anything:
qlmanage -t -s 1000 -o . picture.svg
It will produce picture.svg.png that is 1000 pixels wide.
I have tested it only on OS X 10.6.3.

I found that for me the best tool for the job is rsvg-convert.
It can be found in brew with brew install librsvg and is used like this:
rsvg-convert -h 32 icon.svg > icon-32.png
This example creates a 32px high png. The width is determined automatically.

ImageMagick is an extremely versatile command-line image editor, which would probably rival Photoshop if it had, you know, a GUI. But who needs those anyways. :P
Something like the following would convert a .svg to .png, after installation:
$ convert picture.svg picture.png
The original .svg isn't deleted.

Inkscape with it's Commandline-Interface produces the best results for me:
Install Inkscape:
brew install inkscape
Convert test.svg to output.png with a width of 1024 (keep aspect ratio):
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/MacOS/inkscape --export-type png --export-filename output.png -w 1024 test.svg
OLD ANSWER (doesn't work anymore with latest inkscape):
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape --export-png output.png -w 1024 -h 768 input.svg*
