Ok, this question may well be over your head (it's over mine), but maybe  
some experimentation can provide a bit more of a clue.  The documentation  
for markup \override says:

`\override' NEW-PROP (pair) ARG (markup)
     Add the argument NEW-PROP to the property list.  Properties may be
     any property supported by *note font-interface:
     (lilypond-internals)font-interface, *note text-interface:
     (lilypond-internals)text-interface. and *note
     instrument-specific-markup-interface:
     (lilypond-internals)instrument-specific-markup-interface.

Now "style" is not a member of any of those interfaces as far as I can  
tell.  If it were, would the setting be inherited from, say, the TextScript  
properties of the context where a ^\markup ... is placed?  If that were the  
case, can we set those properties in the respective context definitions and  
have \tempo marks get the respective note style?

Or does this just work globally via \layout { style = #'mensural } or  
similar?
