You might want to take a look at my package:
https://github.com/phillord/tmmofl
It does pretty what you want -- it runs a function when point enters
into text with a particular highlighting, and another when you move
out. I use it to turn auto-fill-mode on in comments and off everywhere
else.
It uses post-command-hook to do it's stuff.
Let me know how you get on!
