All my Evolution icons returned to normal after upgrading to 2.8.1.1.
In the meantime I've also reinstalled all my icon-related ports: 
'misc/gnome-icon-theme' and 'x11-themes/gnome-icons-crystal', so I'm not 
exactly sure which of these solved the issue.
By the way, I've never had gnome-settings-daemon running. Not before the 
upgrade, not ever.
