Hello, They are delivered by normal bits... But you have to tell JDS/Xfce/KDE "Hey, you have there new icons. Use them!" I think that JDS/Xfce when starting, it updates icons, so it's useless to have boot smf profile ... You need update it without reboot / log out log in.
But maybe we can define some smf service, which can update icons (on all installed window managers) on demand. (I guess or restart action). Then IPS package which deliver new icons, can say after installing it to restart such service which will do that job correctly. (when delivering image - more packages - it can restart such service after installing all packages. This has to be designed well or it will be nightmare.
