I guess you'd need a separate, parallel resource:

     URxvt.font-switcher-bold-list

where if the nth item of URxvt.font-switcher-list is selected for
normal text, the nth item of URxvt.font-switcher-bold-list would be
used for bold text.  Or is there a cleaner way?  Another possibility
would be to "rotate" the matrix of fonts, e.g.

   URxvt.font-switcher-1: myfont1:myboldfont1
   URxvt.font-switcher-2: myfont2:myboldfont2
   URxvt.font-switcher-3: myfont3:myboldfont3

etc.
