The code of egeoxml is 'visible' so you can tweak it. Just make it load icons via MapIconMaker when it creates the marker. You might need to also extend egeoxml to parse the style - havent looked if it can do that or not.
In fact from a quick look at the code it looks like you can pass in your own createmarker function - one that uses MapIconMaker - which should solve your problem.
