cdecl (in the ports tree) is your friend:
guru% cdecl
Type `help' or `?' for help
explain int (*if_ioctl)(struct ifnet *, int, caddr_t);
declare if_ioctl as pointer to function (pointer to struct ifnet, int, caddr_t)
returning int
explain int (*if_watchdog)(int);
declare if_watchdog as pointer to function (int) returning int
Note that the parens around the "pointer to function" part are required:
explain int *if_watchdog(int);
declare if_watchdog as function (int) returning pointer to int
