Yes. They contain a reference implementation of the actual imode class
files - as specified by the DoCoMo specs - which are publicly available.
Depending on the licensing model of the emulator software they may or may
not contain the Java code for these classes as well.

They always make the same mistake here: they just don't get it that by
opening up the field for developers you actually boost demand, revenue and
profits for the service itself and the hardware. The manufacturers and
DoCoMo are still wed to the concept that they make most if they keep it all
to themselves.
The only maker who has understood the value of software as a market-creator
is Sony, who rolled over Nintendo and Sega by opening up their game machine
to 3rd party developers. Unfortunately they are not a big player in the
mobile market.
