No. Package upgrades *mustn't* overwrite or delete any user data.
However, it is entirely possible that Iceape has changed the location
where it stores and reads its configuration. Do you know the place where
your settings have been previously? It may be somewhere below ~/.mozilla
or directly in ~/.iceape.
A "brute-force" method would be to search for a known filename in your
home:
$ find ~ -name bookmarks.html
But I don't know whether Iceape still uses the file bookmarks.html or
some other file instead.
