No these icons are converted from public domain US government sets, as
of Oct 2011. They have not been incorporated into QGIS yet, but will be
shortly. After talking with Nathan and Gary I think we can find a way to
pull a copy from the osgeo svn every once in a while, say when building
a new release, so maybe they'll be in QGIS 1.7.4

Alternately maybe a plugin should be made to pull them in as an optional
thing.

Thanks,
