:%s/\S\+/\=synIDattr(synID(line('.'),
col('.'),0),"name")=~'vhdlStatement\|vhdlType\|vhdlOperator)'?
toupper(submatch(0)) : submatch(0)/g

I tested it only barely. If you find out, that certain other types are
not converted, you need to find out the syntax name for it. I did that
on some items using the following command, I defined long ago in my
.vimrc and which I find really useful, every now and then:
command! -nargs=0 WhatSyntax echomsg
\synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."+), 0), "name")
And then typing :WhatSyntax on an unknown Syntax item.

Christian
