Could not find a viewer.  As an alternative I downloaded the source
rpm for dmz-cursor-themes and there are two directories that have png
and svg files with all of the cursors:

[mike at watson rpmbuild]$ ls dmz
COPYING  dmz-preview.png  dmz-preview.svg  dmz.svg  pngs
renderpngs.py  xcursors
[mike at watson rpmbuild]$ ls dmz-aa
COPYING  dmz-aa-preview.png  dmz-aa-preview.svg  dmz-aa.svg  pngs
renderpngs.py  xcursors

Kind a tedious way to get a peek, especially if you want to compare
different themes, but it works.
