You can use apple script 

tell application "Finder"
    set p to get the properties of icon view options of the window of the desktop
    set iconSize to icon size of p
end tell

I use applescript to get it this way:

set icon_size to word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder DesktopViewSettings | grep iconSize")

You could do in Cocoa a similar way using a shell call.
