In that case you'll have to switch fonts for the TOC. So you still need to  
have a font setup that supports os, then switch to that font for the TOC.  
For example, if you can define a latin modern typeface that uses the  
oldstyle numerals, then \switchtotypeface[my-lm] in your TOC setup.

As I mentioned before I'm not sure what the present protocol is for  
setting up an oldstyle LM typeface in mkii. Basically you want something  
like

%% THIS IS ONLY AN ILLUSTRATION!!!
\starttypescript [LModern-OS]
\definebodyfontenvironment
   [lmodern-os]
   [default]
   [interlinespace=2.8ex]

\definetypeface [lmodern-os] [rm] [serif] [lmodern-os] 	[latin-modern-os]  
[texnansi]
\stoptypescript
%% THIS IS ONLY AN ILLUSTRATION!!!

but maybe someone on the list knows the exact protocol. Then you can do  
\usetypescript[LModern-OS] in your preamble and  
\switchtotypeface[lmodern-os] where you need it.

Once the final move to mkiv is made this will all be much easier...

Best wishes
