Icon fonts define glyphs for Unicode code points, and therefore the theoretical limit is around 1 million icons, because that is the number of code points that can be encoded.
Font formats may be limited to a certain number of symbols however. But even 1000 icons in a single font, which every format should support, are way too many for real world web applications because of the size and performance loss.

So far FontAwesome has managed to squeeze 439 icons in a font. I guess when you run out of characters you can always make another font file and add that to your page as well.
