The most portable and simplest are incompatible solutions. =)
PHP Manual uses regular expressions to find and highlight DocBook
output <code> sections. If you need Java or C solution - take a look
onto http://colorer.sf.net. It is free library, plugins available for
Eclipse and Far Manager. Colorer uses XML files to store infomation
about dozens of file formats. I think it is rather complicated task
for XSLT stylesheet. Though it is possible that colorer uses some
similar techniques, since it's highlightning configuration is
at least well-formed. =)
