That package assumes that a session will be either graphical or textual.
Apart from --daemon, you can activate server mode on any Emacs session,
thus making possible to create frames of either type.

don't know why those themes go the (display-graphic-p) route.

You could advise display-graphic-p to return a value depending on how do
you intend to use that daemon. Try looking into command-line-args for
"--daemon=XXX" or, if that argument was already consumed, put some other
mark on the command line such as --eval="(quote graphical)".
