If it's ok that material change will go suddenly without transition, then you may assign multisub material with all needed sub materials and animate material IDs via material modifier. If you need smooth transition between materials, then CoronaLayered material should do trick. Just plug CoronaColor maps as masks and animate colours from black to white or leave colour white and animate output mult from 0 to 1.

I was try CoronaLayered but it gives strange multiply colors at shadows from base material and second active, is it bug?
Will try multisub.
