Not that I am aware of.  FAR is not a ANSI C token.  You may have to just
make a "thunk" layer... i.e

1.  Make your code in NASM with retf
2.  Make a C callable function that far calls your function.

Then call your C callable function.

-- Thunk layer is something I got from an old Windows Programming Journal
about 16/32 bit cross development.
