You could also use two separate variables, e.g.,
`LaTeX-enumitem-key-val-options' and an automatically buffer-local
`LaTeX-enumitem-key-val-options-local', and then your argument functions
you use in `TeX-add-symbols' and `LaTeX-add-environments' in your style
hook would append the values of the two variables to build the complete
list of keyval options available for a macro/environment.
