You can deploy your own gtkrc file and load the data from there:

Gtk.Application.Init();
string filename = "/the/path/to/my.gtkrc";
Gtk.Rc.Parse(filename);

or my preferred method: you include the gtkrc file as a resource inside
your assembly:

Gtk.Application.Init();
using (Stream stream =
  GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("my.gtkrc"))
{
  using (TextReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
  {
    Gtk.Rc.ParseString (reader.ReadToEnd());
  }
}

Hope this helps.
