If you are missing the nice VCF icon on OS X, add this line right before
writing the data to the VCF file:

...
set the filetype to "????????"
## write data to VCF file...

This way the Finder is forced to determine the correct file type and  
icon by the file suffix :-)

I'm sure this is possible with AppleScript.
Open the AppleScript Editopr and then the "dictionary" of the  
Adressbook.app.

I think "open ..." is the correct command to open/import a VCF file.
