Try
	int (pascal far * *f00)(int);

which works for me (using MS C 5.10).  Usage example:

	int (pascal far * *f00)(int) = NULL;
	int (pascal far *funcptr)(int) = NULL;

	extern int far pascal catbox( int );

	void no_means_no( void )
	{
		funcptr = catbox;
		f00 = &funcptr;
	}

This will compile into something suspiciously similar to

	mov	WORD PTR _funcptr, OFFSET CATBOX
	mov	WORD PTR _funcptr+2, SEG CATBOX

	mov	WORD PTR _f00, OFFSET DGROUP:_funcptr

(modulo sticky func-call residue)
