It is, but that assumes the pixmaps has been set by things like 
bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = ...

In most cases, themes set pixmaps by defining "engines".  This is a mechanism 
that seems to be unaffected by any other cutomizations (I don't know if an 
engine can be redefined in another file).  I don't know how to define engines, 
and the documentation for it is very poor.  But you can see examples in your 
gnome distribution in the themes files under prefix/share/themes/*/gtkrc-2.0/gtkrc.
