\definealternativestyle[smallitalic][\itx][\itx]
\starttext
\framed[foregroundstyle=small]{text}
\framed[foregroundstyle=italic]{text}
\framed[foregroundstyle=smallitalic]{text}
\stoptext
or
\starttext
\scratchtoks\emptytoks
\appendtoks\tx\to\scratchtoks % check if the style attribute contains “small”
\appendtoks\it\to\scratchtoks % check if the style attribute contains “italic”
\framed[foregroundstyle=\the\scratchtoks]{text}
\stoptext
