How about something like this:
if !exists("s:ftlist")
let s:ftlist=map(split(globpath(&rtp, "**/syntax/*.vim"), "\n"),
'fnamemodify(v:val, ":t:r")')
endif
:com -nargs=1 -complete=customlist,<SID>FileTypeComplete Filetype :set
ft=<args>
fu! <SID>FileTypeComplete(ArgLead,CmdLine,CursorPos)
let l=filter(copy(s:ftlist), 'v:val =~ "^".a:ArgLead')
return sort(l)
endfu
