I did something similar with mine, adding some keywords, but now am talking to the Emacs guys about an entirely new mode using operator parsing grammars (I never heard of them before, so it's a learning experience for me). OPGs are much faster than traditional LALR and similar parsers, and don't need to be anchored to the beginning of the text. They are sort of context-free grammars, relying instead on operator association and precedence tables. So if we get them working, great. Otherwise I'll just do the top-down parsing. Anyhow, that's why it's not done yet. In that discussion, I put together a cfengine 3 lexer and grammar from the trunk source, which I hope will get us going faster[1]. I don't see a BNF grammar for cfengine 3 anywhere, though, and it would be nice to have one.
