Yes. The gear taken from your room at the start of Hordes of the Underdark can be recovered: look for a black chest near the tents in a drow camp late in Chapter One, before you enter the Underdark. Take the items with you before freeing Halaster and moving on.
Where is the stolen gear?
Search the drow camp near the tents for a black chest. Ackadia’s walkthrough identifies that landmark and places it in the camp: Ackadia’s Hordes of the Underdark walkthrough. The recovery comes near the end of Chapter One, around the major drow encampment before the transition into the Underdark, according to a player reply on AnandTech Forums.
The available walkthroughs do not establish a precise map-area name, so use the black chest and nearby tents as your landmark rather than looking for a particular area label.
When should you collect it?
Loot the chest before freeing Halaster and venturing into the Underdark. Ackadia warns that items left behind at that point are lost. Carry the gear forward rather than leaving it in the chest or elsewhere in the camp.

Does the chest return every item?
The sources confirm that the stolen gear can be recovered, but they do not verify that the chest always contains every object in every version or circumstance. Treat it as the recovery point, check its contents, and do not rely on an unverified repeated-looting trick.
A Neoseeker FAQ and walkthrough also corroborates that the gear is recoverable later in the Chapter One progression.
