This has not been possible so far, but it is now.

If you get the latest version from the git repository, you can do this
like this:

1. Create an agenda view that contains only the entries you want to  
have.
    Assuming you have APPT as a TODO keyword, here is one way:

    C-c a T APPT


2. "Write" this view to an ics file.

    C-x C-w /path/to/calendars/org-appointments.ics

This will write an ics file with all timestamps, deadlines, and  
scheduling
associated with the selected items.  If you have turned on
`org-icalendar-include-todo', the selected items will also be listed
as TODO items.

You can alos automate the creation of such an export using the means
described in
