There's a way to do this but you'll need to rewrite the main PmWiki 
engine to do it.
Basically, there are 3 functions and 2 variables that deal with Markups.
The functions:
Markup - sets the markup to be used.
BuildMarkupRules - sorts the markups to be used.
MarkupToHTML - transforms the text saved in each page into html.

The variables:
$MarkupTable - holds the markups that are saved by the Markup function
$MarkupRules - the ordered markups to be applied by MarkupToHTML.

What you need is an array of $MarkupTable. The default table would be 
$MarkupTable[0] (the current markup). Your markup would set the used 
markup to another position in the array. The endmarkup would revert the 
position to the default one.

This would also imply the rewrite of scripts/stdmarkups.php that sets 
the default markups.
