Hi Dave, Sadly I think the level of effort here is likely closer to "read the code and figure it out" than to a quick <1hour effort. I would have to dig through the code to figure out exactly how difficult this would be, but I would imagine that the different moving parts which make this work in Org-mode are likely scattered in a couple of different places.
There is MuMaMo-mode which is not related to the Org-mode implementation but is designed specifically for embedding multiple major modes into a single mode. However it can sometimes be hairy to configure and it proved insufficient for the source-code-block highlighting in Org-mode.
