A:
The liferay plugins SDK is a good environment for developing themes. The Liferay Wiki has some quick start information about how to use it, also about how to configure liferay to be able to edit the theme "in place". The documentation (especially the development documentation, even if it's for 5.1) has more in depth information.
There are Ant Scripts that come with the Plugins SDK that create the *.war file for you. They also do a good job separating your changes from the default theme of/in liferay (as your changes are stored in a "diff" folder, thus easily identifiable. When defaults change, you may need to adapt your changes, but you know exactly what parts you have changed.

Users of NetBeans may also want to look at this Netbeans.org article:
http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/portal-pack-themes.html#giquj
You'll need to have downloaded and manually installed the appropriate modules for PortalPack (since I cannot post a second link in a single answer yet, you'll have to google "Portal Pack")
