Hm, so you want to preserve a font state but do a rather massive change at 
the same time.

\definetypeface[one][rm][serif][computer-roman][default]
\definetypeface[two][rm][serif][computer-roman][default][rscale=.9]

\def\pushcurrentfont
   {\edef\popcurrentfont
      {\noexpand\def\noexpand\fontbody{\fontbody}%
       \noexpand\def\noexpand\fontstyle{\fontstyle}%
       \noexpand\dosetcurrentfontalternative{\fontalternative}%
       \noexpand\dosetcurrentfontsize{\fontsize}%
       \noexpand\synchronizefont}}

{\one \bf test \two test}

{\one \bf test \pushcurrentfont \two \popcurrentfont test}

I have to give this some thought. maybe make it an optional default or 
so.  I would say: play a bit with it and let me know.

btw, another option is:

{test \setcurrentfontbody{10pt} test}

{\bf test \setcurrentfontbody{6pt} test}
