Good find! ff:def-foreign-variable is not listed on the
foreign-types.htm manual page. However, it is documented separatedly
at
http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/6.2/doc/pages/operators/ff/def-foreign-variable.htm

You should be able to use the :type keyword for non-integer types, but
I haven't tested this function.
