Once the ice in a river is broken, boats can pass without difficulty. The whole quotation is "And if you break the ice, and do this feat, Achieve the elder, set the younger free For our access." What Tranio is talking about is Baptista's rule that Bianca cannot marry until Katharina is married first. By marrying Katharina, Petruchio will be like the icebreaker who frees up the river for those who follow, the suitors who want to marry Bianca.
