Thanks for the advice. The new version looks like this.
(setq font-lock-defaults '((nrnhoc-font-lock-keywords)
nil ; do not do string/comment highlighting
nil ; keywords are case sensitive.
nil
))
(modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w")
(modify-syntax-entry ?\n "> b")
(modify-syntax-entry ?/ (
if (string-match "XEmacs" (emacs-version))
". 1456"
". 124b"))
(modify-syntax-entry ?* ". 23")
(modify-syntax-entry ?\^m "> b")
Much prettier. And it seems to work too.

Thanks for looking at the code. From the looking-at documentation,
it seems like it only matches regexps after the point, whereas in the
current way of doing indentation I need to match symbols anywhere in
the line, in most cases at least. So it's not clear to me how
looking-at will help, unless I rethink the indentation code.
