This isn't exactly portage determining the installed version of
gnome-icon-theme. It's the configure script of gnome-applets which is unaware
of the existance of portage checking the environment before the actual compile.
It uses the return value of:

# pkg-config --exists --print-errors "gnome-icon-theme >= 2.15.91"

to determine whether it's requirement is fulfilled.

Maybe you have some orphaned pkg-config file (.pc) as Kent suggests. The output
of e.g.:

# pkg-config --debug --modversion gnome-icon-theme 2>&1 | grep gnome-icon-theme

will tell you where the .pc file is. If you have app-portage/gentoolkit
installed you can use `equery belongs $FILE` to see if it's orphaned (i.e.
if it belongs to no package.). Orphaned files like that can be safely deleted.
