Yes, the icon problem is quite annoying.
Massimiliano is working on a Retina version of TeXmacs,
but he has not addressed the icon problem yet.

A few points though:
  - Almost all icons were designed by myself.
  - Most icons were redesigned recently, as resizable SVG images,
    with four sizes 16x16, 20x20, 24x24 and 32x32.
  - It should be easy to write a script which multiplies
    the size of each icon by two.
  - In the file qt_tm_widget.cpp, the icon sizes are set explicitly
    (search setIconSize).

If you have time, then you may play around a bit with the icons and
the source code, and see if you can get something to work at least for you.
Hopefully, a clean solution with a user preference will be integrated
sometime soon.

Best wishes, --Joris
