Like a cycle? You would need to store the value somewhere, e.g. in a  
file. It could be made… meanwhile I had some fun creating this script:

IFS=$(echo -e "\n\r")
themes=($(find /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ 
Themes -name "*.tmTheme"))
rand=$(dd </dev/random bs=1 count=1 2>/dev/null|hexdump -e '/1 "%u"')
total=${#themes[@]}
open "${themes[$((rand % total))]}"

It picks a random theme from what's included by default.  
Unfortunately I see that a lot of the default themes have a plist  
extension, for which it doesn't work. So currently will only pick  
random from 4 themes, but I'll have that corrected in next build.

Also be aware, if the default theme has an equivalent in ~/Library,  
TM will ask if it should overwrite (instead of switching), since it  
thinks you're opening a new version of the theme -- for users with a  
lot of custom themes, it'd probably be better to just let it randomly  
pick from what's in ~/Library.
