I guess there is currently no 'right' element in DocBook specifically
for marking up programming statements. If you reckon that to be a
deficiency, please file an RFE. In the mean time, maybe you could do:

  <para>
    Both the <literal role='programmingStatement'>return</literal> and
    <literal role='programmingStatement'>if</unknown> statements are
    impossible to mark-up properly if you can't find suitable elements
    in the TDG.
  </para>

Though for 'return' it seems like <function>return</function> would do.
