You can make ItemTemplate with a custom control with some visual states. The control has f.e Text property which you bind (control would contain TextBlock in its template which you could bind to your control Text property). When binding value has changed, you change control visual state (in callback of dependency property TextProperty of your control).
If you have complex conditions (f.e contains), you probably should write code in your control. If you have to display different views for different data values in a simple way, you can use DataStateBehavior or DataStateSwitchBehavior from http://expressionblend.codeplex.com/
