You define the default one on a per user basis,
gtk2, by creating /home/user/.gtkrc-2.0
gtk3, by creating /home/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Or for system wide,
/usr/pkg/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
/usr/pkg/etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Here's a very stripped down example for gtk2
=====
gtk-theme-name = "Shades-of-gray-Harvest"gtk-icon-theme-name = "Orange-Aurora"
gtk-font-name = "Liberation Sans 10"
=====
and for gtk3
=====
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Shades-of-gray-Harvest
gtk-icon-theme-name = Orange-Aurora
gtk-font-name = Liberation Sans 10
=====
