Should be. Font-lock usually uses regexp but you can give it a function. Once
ran the function needs to update the match-data everytime it finds a match.
Then you can use faces to colorize the local variables. I would suggest using
an italic attribute.
It might be nicer to use overlays and temporarily enable or disable local
variable detection. You would need to set the buffer read only while it is on
though.
