Should be easy enough to do.  It should be configurable as to which
form you want.  Note it'll make the line fairly long.

Well, something like the attached patch may work.

The original implementation I did a long time ago was more powerful
but was rewritten by Lars (I presume to provide better Emacs support,
since when I wrote the original version Emacs couldn't handle images
and thus I was probably using XEmacs specific functions).  Anyway, the
new version actually deletes the text (the old I think made the text
invisible and let you toggle between the icons and text using a mouse
button if I recall).  The patch below may keep the text around but
puts the images next to it.  I haven't tested it, as picons appears to
be broken on my xemacs.  I suspect this is another XEmacs 21.5 issue
with respect to specs...  sigh...

If you want, you could always get a copy of the gnus-picon.el file
from CVS before Lars rewrote it...
