You need to apply theme which is applied to default publishing template or you need to apply separate theme for your new sub site only?
Yes it is possible. Consider you have your custom theme. Now you need to navigate to the location "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\". Here select your site template. In your case, select PUBLISHING -> XML -> Onet.xml. Open the xml file and add new tag under configuration to call our custom page with parameter as your custom theme. In custom page, we need to apply our custom theme and redirect to default page.Reference Here

Create new site using default publishing template. Apply your TsetTemplate theme and save that site as template. Now you can create any sites using that site template which will have TestTemplate theme applied by default.– SurenApr 18, 2013 at 10:38
