If that's the purple stuff they use for insulation, I've used Titebond II wood glue with great success. You can use T pins to hold the pieces together while the glue sets.

3M, Elmers and Gorilla Glue all make foam specific glues. Frankly, I never bothered with any of them because the wood glue and pinning works well for me.
