This is possible perhaps if we make the css files as php - pukka_float 
introduced it ;-)
or if css styles are pumped into html using $HTMLStylesFmt[].

There a several other ways to do it. I think this mostly depends on the skin 
you are using.

I have tried to put below a way that would work entirely with css.
This is in relation to the default skin "pmwiki"

Since the <a> tags do not have any class or ids we just add a variable next to 
it.

  <td id='wikicmds'>
    <a $isRCActive href='$ScriptUrl/$[$Group/RecentChanges]'
      accesskey='$[ak_recentchanges]'>$[Recent Changes]</a>
    <a $isPrintActive href='$PageUrl?action=print' target='_blank'>$[Printable 
View]</a>
    <a $isDiffActive href='$PageUrl?action=diff'
       accesskey='$[ak_history]'>$[Page History]</a>
    <a $isEditActive href='$PageUrl?action=edit'
            accesskey='$[ak_edit]'>$[Edit Page]</a>
     </td>

Now we define an array. This can be a recipe or in skin.php file.

$ActiveCmdFmt = array(
 browse => "\$isBrowseActive", 
 edit => "\$isEditActive",
 diff => "\$isDiffActive");
// ....and so on for other actions

global $action;
$ActiveCmdFmt[$action] = "id='active'";

Now in an css file insert this:
#active {border-bottom:6px solid yellow;}

I hope this is giving a fair idea.
For other pages like "RecentChanges" this would not work 
(we have to use something like this).

$mygroup = FmtPageName('$Group', $pagename);
if $pagename = ("$mygoup".'RecentChanges') {$isRCActive = "id='active'"};

Similarily it could be done for other pages.
