Site Categories is only a tool for categorizing blogs and together with Sitewide Tags allows for copying sub-blog posts to a top level blog of a certain category and list out posts from certain blog categories. However, no categorizing data is copied with the posts, or linked to the posts via metadata – except the blogid.
We ended up writing a snippet in content.php that looks up the blogid of the post, and then looks up the name of the theme the blog uses from the wp_options tables in the WP database.
That let us style by category, since the blog of a certain category inherited the child theme for its category.
