You mean, you want to have the same theme in two Liferay Workspaces?
As a workspace is a single directory hierarchy, I can see two options (and strongly prefer the first):
  • Store it in your version control system and check it out in both workspaces
  • Provide a link for the theme's directory into that other workspace's directory
But, after all, I don't see that intense of work within a theme once the CI is nailed - If you find yourself constantly tweaking the theme, you might work on the wrong abstraction layer. The theme doesn't need to be in the workspace, you can just build a deployable theme and deploy it to as many machines as you like - without having constant development access
