There is a feature request but I am not aware of any plans:

The list seems to be hardcoded in
https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/src/e-util/e-emoticon-chooser.c
Which does not seem like a good idea in the long-run, but no good idea
either how to present hundreds of emoticons in a sane way in the UI.
