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?
