Rendering Custom Post Types independently of the theme in use

+1 to putting your post types in a dedicated plugin

What you’ll want is to do something like what BBPress and Buddypress are doing.

In BBPress, default templates are provided. If the theme provides none, the defaults are used. All the themer has to do is add 

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
