Im not entirely sure how AP would handle this, but a way for profile pictures to have alt text feels important for the fediverse and accessability, and as far as im aware no software allows for this, so lets be the first

AP-wise I guess the same as with an attachment. Add a name key (in this case to the icon property) and use that.

{
  "@context": [
    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  ],
  "icon": {
    "type": "Image",
    "name": "a cool looking me",
    "url": "https://instance.tld/media/my-pfp.jpeg"
  },
}

And I guess using name instead of e.g. summary or content is (besides consistency with attachment) because it's explicitly plain text https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-name.
