You bet. It's somewhat esoteric, but you can set:

 # if the main template is in a package
 $R->{page}->{_template_name_} = 'pkg::template';

 # if thie main template is not in a package (like 'base_main')
 $R->{page}->{_template_name_} = 'template';

If this is not set, OI checks $R->{page}->{_simple_} -- if that is set,
it uses the value of the theme key 'simple_template', otherwise (most of
the time) it uses the theme key 'main_template'.
