Not really, no.

The menus and OSD are fully themeable.  The program guide colors (category 
background colors, overall background, text/etc) are fully customizeable, but 
the feel can't change, aside from having a bar at the bottom showing the 
current program title in a larger font or not.  The rest of the UI can be 
modified as much as Qt's theming system allows you, which is quite a bit with 
respect to colors and widget styles, but the overall widget placement can't 
changed without modifying the source.
