How do I find a matching IceCat version?

If you see "Not available for Firefox xx.x" if you evaluate an add-on in addons.mozilla.org you have to go to the add-on page and click on "Version Information" and then on "See complete version history" to find a version that match your browser version.

What should I think about when I submit IceCat entries?

Please add "IceCat" but not "Firefox" in the "This an extension, add-on, or plugin to" field in new add-on entrys, as suggested by the FSF.
