The only way I can think to do this would be to use some a third

offhand. Here: <http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~philip/#IcnsRsrc2File>, is a
tool which can extract custom file icons to a .icns file. You could
then do a comparison of the file size and/or raw bytes (ugh) -- that
will only tell you if they are different.
But that would supposably be enough. Even if there were more than two
states of the icon, a change might be sufficient in the specific
circumstances.
The old Tempo/Tempo II macro utility didn't report icon info, but it
did have something that compared the bitmap of a defined area on the
screen, so that if it had changed the macro would do something other
than that if it hadn't. I don't know how it determined whether or not
a change had occurred.
