The correct syntax would be:

	app('iPhoto').make(
			new=k.album,
			at=app.albums.end, # 'at' parameter should be optional here
			with_properties={ k.name : 'New Album', k.type : k.regular_album })

or:

	tell app "iPhoto" to make new (album) at end of albums ¬
			with properties {name:"New Album", type:regular album}

but that doesn't work on account of iPhoto's persistently shoddy  
scripting implementation which, disappointingly, is still a mess in  
the latest iPhoto 7.1.1.

You have to use its weird, non-standard 'new album' command (which  
returns a broken reference, btw, so don't use that):

	app('iPhoto').new_album(name='New Album')
