Using jQuery (which you said may be acceptable) it could be something like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('td > a').hover(
       function() {
           $('td > a:contains("' + this.innerHTML + '")').css('font-weight', 'bold')
       },
       function() {
           $('td > a').css('font-weight', 'normal')
       }
   )
})

When mouse enters anchor within TD - code looks for all anchors within TDs that have the same text and bolds them.

When mouse leaves the anchor - font-weight returns to normal.
