David,
Doesn't the opposite exist where modules request specific theming modules? Is there a standard set of theming modules yet, or must you just test to see if the function exists?

It's bad practice for themes to have module dependencies like that. There is no centralized standard for tracking modules that a theme depends on. You'll have to go through the entire theme looking for references to modules.
If you want to be kind to the next person who has to maintain the site, you could break out any template code that has module dependency as a custom module or Feature, so that the module dependencies can be declared.

Hi all,
is there any easy way to know what modules a theme is depending on? I have a theme from a Drupal 6 site with a multitude of installed modules. When I use the theme on a plain vanilla Drupal install a blank page is installed. I really do not want to go through all the tpl files to see what modules are referenced. How is a problem like this tackled?
Thanks.
