GDAL knows the Reykjavik 1900 GCS, with this parameter string:
+proj=longlat +a=6377019.27 +b=6355762.5391 +towgs84=-28,199,5,0,0,0,0 +no_defs
There are no parameters given for the Lambert projection. That might be a reason why EPSG:3052 is not implemented in Proj.4/GDAL.
The EPSG registry notes:
Latitude of natural origin 65° N
Longitude of natural origin 19° 1' 19.65" W
but no information on the projection method. It might be different from lcc and laea which are available in Proj.4/GDAL.
http://www.raunvis.hi.is/~geirf/seg/seg-ind.htm gives some hints:
"maps based on "Reykjavík 1900" datum drawn in Lambert Conformal Conic projection with one standard parallel (65° N) and the center point (x,y)=(0,0) at (65°N, 19.022°W), x pointing West at that point and y North."
So you can try these parameters:
+proj=lcc +a=6377019.27 +b=6355762.5391 +lat_1=65 +lat_0=65 +lon_0=-19.022 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +axis=wnu +towgs84=-28,199,5,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs
to get this coordinate grid, displayed on a Web Mercator background:

There is an online calculator at http://cocodati.lmi.is/cocodati/cocodat-i.jsp that can transform from and to Lambert 1900. It uses a 7-parameter datum transformation, which might be better than the 3-parms that GDAL uses. The offline manual from http://cocodati.lmi.is/cocodati/cocodati-manual.pdf gives some background on this, but has a typo on the dx parameter.
So lets test with cs2cs:
cs2cs +proj=lcc +a=6377019.27 +b=6355762.5391 +lat_1=65 +lat_0=65 +lon_0=-19.022 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +axis=wnu +towgs84=-28,199,5,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs +to +init=epsg:4326 -f "%%.8f" <Island-Lambert.txt >Island-wgs84.txt
cs2cs +proj=lcc +a=6377019.27 +b=6355762.5391 +lat_1=65 +lat_0=65 +lon_0=-19.022 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +axis=wnu +towgs84=556.020,-168.701,942.364,4.154,-0.269,-2.279,-3.729 +units=m +no_defs +to +init=epsg:4326 -f "%%.8f" <Island-Lambert.txt >>Island-wgs84.txt
cs2cs +proj=lcc +a=6377019.27 +b=6355762.5391 +lat_1=65 +lat_0=65 +lon_0=-19.022 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +axis=wnu +towgs84=556.020,-168.701,942.364,-4.154,0.269,2.279,-3.729 +units=m +no_defs +to +init=epsg:4326 -f "%%.8f" <Island-Lambert.txt >>Island-wgs84.txt
on a test point at 150000 -100000
which delivers:
-22.09304048 64.07190553 -1053.88158670
-22.09839453 64.06973810 62.39101574
-22.09264623 64.07046456 62.60636384
The online converter computes
64.070464568(N) 22.092771204(W)
so the last parameter set fits best:
+proj=lcc +a=6377019.27 +b=6355762.5391 +lat_1=65 +lat_0=65 +lon_0=-19.022 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +axis=wnu +towgs84=556.020,-168.701,942.364,-4.154,0.269,2.279,-3.729 +units=m +no_defs
The offset is about 5 meters to the East. You might have to consider tectonic moves if you need high accuracy.
