I use following command in my .emacs file, 

(setq auto-mode-alist (append auto-mode-alist
			      '(("\\.pc$*" . c-mode)
				("\\.pro$" . mprolog-mode))))

i.e. files with extension .pc invoke c-mode and files with .pro extension
invoke mprolog-mode (prolog-mode with minor changes).

Hope this helps.
