I've been using Inkscape to generate PNG's from various SVG files. This works fine for larger images, but for smaller images (like icons), bitmaps appear grainy and extremely anti-aliased at the edges. Is there a better tool - one that can generate crisp edges, even at low resolutions? Mac or Linux, freeware or commercial (hopefully not too commercial) would do.

I use cloud convert, its an online convertor and the svg-png conversion is great
Heres a crash course in pixel hinting, you can use this technique in any vector app that gives you a pixel preview of your work.

It does require manual manipulation of your vector file.
No.
The issue is the resolution you are trying to export as. A low resolution image, such as an icon, simply doesn't have a whole lot of pixels to work with.
Typically, icons are either tweaked by hand, or drawn by hand in a raster format from the start. Software just can't make the aesthetic calls on a level like that.
That said, though not SVG based, you could use something like Fireworks which has robust vector tools, but lets you live-preview the raster version. That would get you a bit closer to what you are trying to achieve.
