I'm only a bit of a VIM user and have never worried about syntax hiliting.
However, I /can/ mention that I saw a thread recently over on the dev list
about it.  There's hiliting included for Gentoo specific stuff like
ebuilds, as well, once you get it running.  I don't remember what the name
of the thread was, but I'd suggest checking the archive (try the gmane.org
archive if you need to) for about 3-14 days back, and you should run
across it.
