I do not know of such a thing, but that would indeed be a good idea.
I created a wishlist entry for that at:
http://alqua.com/tmresources/wish%20-%20commented%20style%20file%20as%20tutorial

As usual, do not hesitate to drop comments in.

Nonetheless you can have a look at the very incomplete documentation on the 
Wiki:
http://alqua.com/tmresources/advanced%20user%20manual
Could be of some help (in addition to the terse online documentation).

Finally, you can look at user user contributed styles in 
$TEXMACS_PATH/styles. I humbly suggest to have a look at 'allouche.ts' and 
the 'rsection.ts' file I posted here recently. They are not very complicated 
and demonstrate some useful features.

You can always use the Document->style->other menu item.

To customize the style menu you can add the followind definition to your user 
init file:

(set! style-menu (append style-menu '(("konzept" (init-style "konzept"))))

By the way, most of the time when you want to customize an existing style, 
you really want to redefine only a few variables in your style file and use 
it as a 'package'.
