That was it, I was just missing gnome-icon-theme. I now have icons, thanks!

For reference, I installed gtk+-2.4.1 to /usr/local, then did "./configure; make; make install" for

 hicolor-icon-theme
 shared-mime-info
 gnome-icon-theme

And as Sven said, added this to .gtkrc-2.0

 gtk-icon-theme-name = "gnome"
