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.

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.
