There's an easier way, as of 11.0:
+ There is now a simple way to add language keywords to
installed languages without fiddling your fingers in the
application package or other off-limits places. As follows:
- in the `Application Support/BBEdit/` folder, there is a new
subfolder, named `Custom Keywords`. It is created
automatically when the application starts.
- In this folder, place one or more files containing the
keywords that you wish to be colored.
- Each file's name should map it to the appropriate language,
e.g. ".js" for JavaScript files. You can have multiple
keyword files mapped to the same language, if you wish.
- Each file should be UTF-8 text, no BOM, and contain one
keyword per line.
- Keyword lookups are case-sensitive if the language is case
sensitive; case-insensitive otherwise.
- Words in these files are colored using the "Language Keywords"
color.
Beginning with 11.6:
* Custom keyword files (those that live in `Application
Support/BBEdit/Custom Keywords`) can now use an Emacs mode line
to specify their language. This addresses the case in which you
want to supply keywords for a language that doesn't have any
filename extension mappings. For example. "`.php`" maps to "PHP
in HTML", which means that embedded PHP keywords need to be in a
keywords file that maps to the "PHP" language. Such a keyword file
would look like this:
<code>
-*- mode: php; -*-
keyword_one
keyword_two
...etc...
</code>
Emacs mode lines and blank lines in the keyword file will be ignored.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
