Originally, Berkeley would accumulate submitted termcap descriptions,
but since the people who used to do that have moved on, I don't know
whether they still do that.  I collect them and from time to time add
some of my backlog of collected new descriptions to BRL's /etc/termcap,
and I imagine that other sites do something similar.  I don't happen to
have an ICL6402 description, though.  If you have the manual for that
terminal, any termcap/terminfo guru should be able to create a working
description using the manual as a guide.  The alternative is to ask in
comp.terminals, as you have (in effect) done, and hope that somebody
who has already done this work will mail you a copy.  Good luck!
