Usually easter eggs are things that are revealed when you do something special or when special circumstances occur. In one of the Civ3 expansions (Conquests?) the King units got replaced by Elvis images on his birthday.
Easter egg?

I don't know if they qualify as real easter eggs, but it looks like they did some funny city naming thing again (also in Civ3 I think). You can look them up in the XML files. I don't have them at hand now, but I remember there being cities (usually the last name in a city list) that are dubious to have ever been real cities names: Apolyton, Le Bam, The Mumbles, Mable.
In case you happen to live in such named cities, my apologies

Wow, it's been a while...
Not sure if it qualifies as an easter egg, but the little clip of music that plays when you complete the Theatre building (and other culture-providing buildings) is a clip from some of the dancing music from Pirates!

To Darkdude,
not sure about all the 'funny' names you mentioned there. Apolyton seems to be a reference to the strategy games fansite. But 'The Mumbles' is certainly a real place. It is a village on the edge of Swansea in South Wales (I live in this area, and from the beach near my house can look across the bay to Mumbles and it's lighthouse.) This was discussed in another thread about strange city names in the Civ 3 forums. If I remember correctly, although The Mumbles is in Wales I believe it has always been part of the English civilization rather than the Celts. The reason for this is that Mumbles is on the edge of the Gower, a rather attractive land in South Wales (the first protected environment in the UK) which has historically been captured and colonized by first the Romans, and later the English.
