For now, the only way to achieve this is to modify by hand the HTML 
template used by XMLmind Web Help Compiler (whc, 
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/whc.shtml):

XXE_install_dir/addon/config/common/whc/whc_template/
   classic.html
   corporate.html
   simple.html

However we have nothing against making this feature a whc option. 
Something like:

-p favicon file_path_or_URL

(The favicon file would then be copied somewhere in  output_directory/_wh/).

No promises but we'll see what we can do.
