Is it just a matter of defining the mode to use for some new source?

For plantuml I have the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-babel-do-load-languages
 (quote org-babel-load-languages)
 (quote ((emacs-lisp . t)
         (dot . t)
         (ditaa . t)
         (R . t)
         (python . t)
         (ruby . t)
         (gnuplot . t)
         (clojure . t)
         (sh . t)
         (ledger . t)
         (org . t)
         (plantuml . t)
         (latex . t))))

(add-to-list 'org-src-lang-modes (quote ("plantuml" . fundamental)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This enables fundamental-mode when I C-c ' on a plantuml block

#+begin_src plantuml :file foo.png

#+end_src


Does that help?
