You might want to try something like

  (add-hook 'c-mode-hook
    (lambda ()
      (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-syntactic-keywords)
           '(("FOO([^)]+)" (0 '(2))))))

To first change the syntax-class of the open and close paren to "word".
That's pretty ugly but it should work (probably with some fiddling).
