You have to do two changes. First, in descr_unit find the spartan hoplites and add in the last field where the "greek_cities" are metioned the "macedon". Second, in the descr_model_battle, find the spartan hoplites texture used for the greek cities copy it paste below and rename the greek cities to macedon. Macedonian and Greek spartan hoplites will now use the same skin. However, if you desire a different skin for Macedon you have to do a new one and set your texture's name in the path.

However the unit will still not be available in the campaign and will have a gray peasant as an icon.

True. It's very easy though. Simply find the barracks that recruit the spartan hoplites in the "export_descr_buildings" text, and add in the brackets to the right the " ,macedon ".
For the icons, simply unpack all unit's icons using the proper xpak. Then find the icon of spartan hoplite in the folder UI/UNITS/GREEK_CITIES, copy it, make a folder UI/UNITS/MACEDON in the game's main directory and paste it here.
