Themes survivability generally depends on the changes a new version of the forum introduces. If the underlying .tmpl file had not changed between your current & new version you are upgrading to then your modifications will survive the upgrade, otherwise they will be over-written.
Consequently I try to limit the changes to commonly modified file such as header.tmpl, footer.tmpl & forum.css.tmpl to ensure that fewest number of people possible are affected by the changes.
When a modified template is overwritten, the original is backed up to allow for an easy restoration process.
The forum's built-in template editor has some description that should give you some idea as to what most template files do.
