I maintain a FC offshoot distro. I have my own "firstboot" which
switches the theme in a shell script the first time the system
runs after install. You may be able to put this in a kickstart
file (excerpt):
# set default theme to blagCanyon
if [ -f /usr/bin/gconftool-2 ] ; then
echo "Setting default theme"
gconftool-2 --direct -s --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
-t string /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme blagCanyon
gconftool-2 --direct -s --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
-t string /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme blagCanyon
gconftool-2 --direct -s --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
-t string /apps/metacity/general/theme blagCanyon
This will change the theme for all new users. Substitue your
theme name for "blagCanyon" If there is a cleaner way to do
this, I'm all ears. :)

Take a peak at these values you can set with gconftool-2
/desktop/gnome/applications/browser:
exec = firefox
I'm not sure if that's the right value or not as I leave mozilla
default. You'll have to poke around with gconftool-2.

I don't know how to do this without rebuilding firefox.

OMFG. The /etc/gconf has a slew of XML files with this info.
For a list of all the values, run:
gconftool-2 -R /
