It should be pretty simple.

If any shape hit by the first pixel sample (including the primary ray 
and all secondary rays) turns on antialiasing, it is on for that pixel. 
Other options would be set to minimum or maximum, depending on what is 
most logical. This would add some overhead though...might be better to 
just use the settings of the first object hit or only trigger on/off, 
without object-specific antialiasing parameters.
