Themes don’t function differently on multisite. So you can develop a theme just the way you are used to. Depending on your coding habits, you might want to do more thorough testing if the theme has many options and customization possibilities.
The risks are inherent to multisite, not particularly to theming. One mistake will affect many sites. Updating your theme will require very thorough testing indeed, for risk of breaking lots of stuff. Options cannot easily be changed anymore.
So, much depends on your personality. If you are a disciplined coder, who thinks a theme through before he acts, you can go ahead as you’re used to. If you’re a trial and error kind of coder, you will need to toughen up.
