Ah, right!

c-special-indent-hook is already buffer local - try doing C-h v on it in
a CC Mode buffer.  Hmm.  The CC Mode manual should perhaps say this on
the page "Other Special Indentations".  [But after the release. :-]  Just
as a matter of interest, the only function CC Mode itself puts on this
hook is c-gnu-impose-minimum, and that only for "gnu" style.

For other hooks which aren't buffer local, I suppose you could do
something like this:
(make-local-variable 'foo-mode-hook)
(remove-hook 'foo-mode-hook 'bar)
