What about something like

SELECT UID, COALESCE(CASE WHEN FAMET = :FAMET2 THEN 4 ELSE 0 END) +
COALESCE(CASE WHEN FALLYKSUS = :FALLYKSUS2 THEN 3 ELSE 0 END) +
COALESCE(CASE WHEN FOSAKOND = :FOSAKOND2 THEN 2 ELSE 0 END)
AS PRIORITY
FROM TAB_T
WHERE TSOON = :TSOON
AND (FAMET = :FAMET OR FAMET IS NULL)
AND (FALLYKSUS = :FALLYKSUS OR FALLYKSUS IS NULL)
AND (FOSAKOND = :FOSAKOND OR FOSAKOND IS NULL)
ORDER BY 2 DESC

If all match, you'll get PRIORITY 9 (maximum), if all are NULL, you'll
get PRIORITY 0 (minimum for a match, and at the bottom of the result
set), if some match you'll get something in between.

I guessed that matching FOSAKOND and FALLUKSUS with FAMET NULL would be
better than matching FAMET with FOSAKOND AND FALLUKSUS both NULL, if not
you'll have to change the values (e.g. CASE FALLYKSUS = 2 and FOSAKOND = 1).

HTH,
