Oh, so it's not a question of whether the closing @ is on the same line but
of nesting.  Good.

Then you want to add "n" to the syntax of "*" (to cause /* */ to be
nestable) and you want to use "!" (instead of "\"") for for syntax of @.

With my suggestions above, all three should work just fine in Emacs-21.

What have you tried to do to make it happen ?
Have you turned on font-lock-mode ?
