Go to File » New Calendar » On My Mac, and name the new calendar Reminders or something similar. Put all of your reminders in this calendar, and make sure they all have alarms. Then, simply click on the checkbox next to the Reminder calendar in the sidebar to hide the calendar. Alarms for the hidden calendar will still go off, but all your miscellaneous reminders will no longer clutter your iCal window. (This "hide in other calendars" strategy is useful for other things as well.)
[robg adds: I thought we had run a similar hint in the past, but (even searching with Google) I couldn't find it. If you do, please let me know.]
