Sure it can.  You can theme things in Gtk by class, widget_class,
widget or their hierarchy, see gtkrc documentation:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-Resource-Files.html

Just name your button objects differently (e.g. redbutton and
greenbutton) and set suitable theme for each object name.

PS. For speed reasons, don't use patterns like "*name*",
if needed, single "*" should be enough for a match pattern.
