I'm not sure I understand exactly what the problem is. The post you cite seems to have the exact solution you are looking for. I appreciate that you don't want to violate DRY, but pretty much every Django view I've written ends with render_to_response. In your situation you just give the "templates/%(site_profile_name)s/ template.html" % blah as the first element in the list and you're away. Presumably "template.html" is dependent on the view.
If you're looking for the themes the ProDjango book gives a pretty good example of doing that, so that might be what you're looking for.
