I don't think so (perhaps Hans will correct me?) I would define a new
typescript such as "MyGaramondBold" where the [SerifCaps] synonym
references the bold small caps font. You'll have to \switchtobodyfont to
use that font.

This works:
\definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [xxx]
Where "xxx" is a reference to the font file with the old-style figures.
What is lacking, I think, is [OldStyleBold] and [OldStyleItalic]. So you
can't usefully combine \os with \it or \bf. (Am I wrong about that?)

That's what I've done when I've wanted an old-style roman, italic and
bold by default. If you just need roman, you can define [OldStyle] as
above.
