Though I think it would annoy the bajeebers out of me, you can do
it with something like:
:au CursorHold * exec 'match IncSearch /'.expand("<cword>").'/'
You might want to tweak that to include word-boundaries:
...earch /\<'.expand('<cword>').'\>/'
with whatever the proper escaping of the "\" characters might be.
You can use 2match or 3match (or whatever), perform it for just
certain file-specs (instead of "*") and change up the syntax
group instead of IncSearch to whatever you like.
