Ceridwen:
Actually, no.  I did a search, and could only come up with vague 
references to some time in the future from the dates that the 
question was answered:

Asked about Harry's parents:
JKR:  "Yes. I've even drawn a picture of how they look. Harry has his 
father and mother's good looks. But he has his mother's eyes and 
that's very important in a future book."

Another question and answer session:
Q:  "Well because everyone always goes on about how Harry's got Lily 
Potter's eyes." 
JKR:  "Aren't you smart? There is something, maybe, coming about 
that. I'm going to say no more, very clever."

Nothing about when the eye link comes into play.  For all we know, 
the effect of Harry's eyes on Slughorn, which he used at least twice 
in HBP, is the end of it.  I don't find it satisfying in light of the 
hoopla everyone's made out of it, but it could be that this is the 
only importance Lily's eyes in Harry's head might have, and the 
hoopla was just building castles in the air.

Of course, Slughorn's unadulterated memory was very important, so I 
shouldn't say that the Lily connection in HBP wasn't much.  But JKR 
didn't say the eyes would come into play in DH, just in some book not 
yet released in 1999 and 2000 respectively.  HBP, among others, fits 
that description.
