You mean, in the expression?  Like

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defconst supinf-greek-keywords
  `((,(concat "\\\\\\<\\("
              (mapconcat #'identity (list "alpha" "beta" "gamma") "\\|")
              "\\)\\>")
             (1 'typeface-greek-keywords)))
  "Rules to apply font-lock highlighting.")
#+end_src

?

It would be best to use an appropriate `rx' expression instead of
`concat' as above if you know `rx' or want to get used to it.  Would
make the result even more readable.
