AFAIK there's nothing specifically about theming Gtk on OSX, but there's all sorts of info on theming in general.

I've had some success using the clearview theme engine, though I haven't tried on Lion-and-later. I encountered some issues, which I don't remember the specifics of, and decided that it was better not to try to theme GnuCash for distribution. 

IIRC the theme engine needs to be compiled and installed where libgtk-quartz can find it, meaning that you might need to adjust the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash or adjust the rpath in the engine's dylib with install_name_tool and put it in the bundle.
