Is there an application that manages and installs complete theme packs, like Mac4Lin? Or, if there's not, would it be possible technically for one app, preferably a frontend only, to manage everything from gtk theming to metacity/emerald, to enabling specific compiz settings and plugins, to gdm and usplash, cursors, fonts etc ?

Sounds a bit much but I think it would be beneficial to have truly complete themes and a way to import and export them. I include compiz settings in the above , because that's can work as a part of the desktop look too, not only as extra eye candy or extra usability. For instance where in one theme pack the cube would be preferable, a more minimal one would perhaps look better with desktop wall instead of cube.

So is it possible to group all these things together under one frontend, or is it just too complicated ?

eh well not right now but maybe in the future gnome will get this.
KDE has something along the lines of what you are talking about, it has a somewhat decent way of packing themes and such

KDE has as much of a theme pack installer as GNOME (from what I have seen). Both send out icons/window borders/widgets (and in KDE's case, a color scheme also_ in a tarball. You still have to install them separately.
