You should be able to combine tags just fine. Define <italic> and <bold> in your copywriting/database workflow/XML (the process will vary widely by tool selection). The end result should be the export from your db of something approximate to

<stuff>
<item>Item Number <bold>One</bold></item>
<item>Item <italic>Number</italic> Two</item>
</stuff>

Map those new tags to appropriate character styles in InDesign for both import and export, and you should be golden.
