The story I've heard is that we haven't supported themes because we make no guarantees about CSS class stability: CSS support was a nifty thing that was added so that we could put up a couple actors and mold them like clay into our mockups very quickly and easily. With the gnome 3 release, I doubt we'll add have a theme switcher out of the box.
We've accepted patches to add API to make it easier for people making third-party theme switchers: SardemFF7 has one, a random guy from deviantart (not half-left) has another, and there's also gnome-plumbing and gnome-tweak-tool.
