No need: a theme can already run the code it likes.
In the worst case, it can provide its own global minor modes and then set those
modes's Custom vars to the values it likes.

The advantage of a theme over a minor mode is that it's more
declarative, making visible to Custom the different settings that make
up the theme so that Custom can better handle collections of themes with
overlapping settings.
