First a clarification.  Portlets are not in themes.  Portlets are in
pages.  Themes are applied to pages.

Tabs in themes usually correspond to the pages that are available for
the user to navigate to... although they don't have to if you code them
differently.

What do you mean by "deactivate" the tab.  Do you mean it should go away
or do you mean it should be present, but it is disabled and the user
cannot click on it.

If you mean it should go away, you likely can change your page hierarchy
for these portlets such that when you to to the second set of pages, it
is at a different root and therefore all the other pages will
automatically go away.  If you mean it should be visible, but disabled,
then you will need to write custom logic in your theme to handle this.

Can you post an example of what page tabs show up:
1. when the first portlet is showing
2. when the second portlet is showing

And then indicate which tabs are showing up when the second portlet is
showing that you do not want to show.

thanx for quick response. how do i write custom logic. I will explain my req
uirement in details here. see, I have two diff themes. First theme is having
 some portlets without any tabs. it just merely showing portlets. just assum
ing that one of the portlet
is having hyper link. if i click that link, it will take me to go second the
me with corresponding tabs. In this case i have to disable the rest of the T
abs. I have written showing tabs in topNav.jspf. My doubt is when we reach s
econd themes how will i ge
t name of current tab so that i can disable rest of the tabs. Disable means 
just apply css file to that tabs thats all. i hope so this time u will able 
to understand my question. pls help me.

I do not know how you have modified your theme.  However, in the default
theme, the current page is called the selected page in the code.  The
tab for the current page is the one where class="wpsSelectedPage" is
specified on the <li> tag. The tab for the other pages have
class="wpsUnSelectedPage" instead.
