    It can be the source of your images for the blog yes. But it's not as simple as uploading the PSD file and expecting it to work like that. The PSD file would still need to be sliced and coded, and merged with wordpress.

    You can start with some of the free themes and then change them... you will learn a lot from doing this.

    You need to hire someone to code it.

    Photoshop document .psd file serves as master copy for future modification of design. It is not relevance to ask a .psd file for wordpress theme. For that matter .jpeg .gif .png .bmp format files also can be sliced in photoshop for use with webpages.

    To learn designing wordpress themes you need to start your own wordpress blog. Download Wordpress theme. Open images folder and check how the images are sliced. Open index.php file with notepad and check how the sliced images are linked and placed (example:/images/showpost.gif" alt="" width="13" height="10" ).

    Designing skills are not sufficient to compose a wordpress theme. You need to understand PHP code behaviours. Take time and study how the Wordpress themes are working.:)
