There's actually a W3C draft:

EPUB 3 Text-to-Speech Enhancements 1.0

IVONA 2 Text-To-Speech has SSML support:

SSML Support in Ivona Text-To-Speech

Some Microsoft SAPI voices also have limited SSML support.

Improve synthesis with Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML)

However, AFAIK, there aren't any epub3 apps with SSML support.
