Andy,

Try removing the empty src_compile function, I think that is the
problem.

Should be

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
}

src_install () {
    dodir ${D}/usr/share/icons/fvwm
    mv ${WORKDIR}/* ${D}/usr/share/icons/fvwm/
}

Actually you can also get rid of the src_unpack() function too as it is
the default unpack. There are a number of other changes you should make
too. See below

You need to change P to PN, otherwise emerge will look for a directory
fvwmicons-1.0, but the package unpacks to fvwm_icons. You will also need
to change the package name to fvwm_icons if you want to use P or PN, the
other option is to set S=${WORKDIR}/fvwm_icons, but I think the former
is better

You need a DEPEND and SLOT
DEPEND="x11-wm/fvwm" as it doesn't make sense to have the icons without
the wm, the other option is virtual/glibc
SLOT="x86" or ppc or sparc, whatever your machine is

You don't need the ${D} here

change the above to
	insinto /usr/share/icons/fvwm
	doins ${S}/*

Those changes should do what you want.
